1 Rear Suspension problem

Defect in suspension system of car causes the car to move laterally on dry pavement as if the car were hydroplaning. Happens when the vehicle encounters "washboard" or rippling in the pavement. I suspect that the suspension is too tight since it does not seem to be as bad when the vehicle is loaded, weight seems to help the issue. All occurances (4) happened on highways within 5mph of speed limit on dry pavement during optimal weather. My wife is afraid to put the children in the car and drive it.

2 Rear Suspension problem

Consumer was traveling at 70 mph when there was a loud noise, and suddenly the vehicle began to wobble from the rear.
