Rear end slide in turns on uneven pavement-240 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Lawrence on  Mon May 8 09:45 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hey board,
This 240 is great. At 151,000 miles it is doing extremely well, and Iam really proud of it.
I do notice that the rear end doesnt seem to track right in turns. If I go into a sharp turn on the freeway, and the pavement happens to be a bit uneven, it will lose traction and skip,slightly, sideways.

I was told that this is not normal for a 240, that is should stick to the ground a bit better.
Visual inspecting reveals that all parts are in place. I do notice a certain looseness when I go over rough spots in the road.
Shocks have been replaced relatively recently.

The car is a salvage car. What should I be looking for? Weak springs?

Thanks.

Lawrence
