Default rear seems to jump and swerve

02 ep3

recently it seems like everytime i go over a little bump such as like a sewer (manhole) whatever it seems like my rear swerves off like it kind of loses grip or something. And i dont know what it is but it scary when i take fast turns and the road is bumpy. gotta beat those lights sometimes. thanks for any info.

Could be a bad alignment and probably worn shocks.

A loose rear swaybar would not do what you are describing. A binding one might, however.

Just crawl under the car and check.

what if the front of my car does this...? on the stock suspension... i hit a small bump or slightly rough road and the front wheels are bouncing/skidding/hopping around the corner.. i think it is my tires but it could be just the *** suspension?
