Hi all,

This is something I've mentioned to every mechanic that's seen the car. So far no one has pinned this down, so I thought I'd ask here to see if this is "just how this car is"...

On the highway it seems like the car gets pushed around quite a bit by high winds or passing trucks/SUVs - like enough that I have to correct it, but not enough to be scary.

To me, it feels like the rear is what's wandering in this case, not the front of the car. I also kind of notice this on long, gentle highway turns - it feels like the rear kicks out and I correct, kicks out, correct, etc.

There's a new anti-sway bar, new struts, and I was told, new bushings in the rear.

Is this just how a 740 handles, or should I have the current mechanic dig deeper?
