02 c240 rear car kicks to the right over bumps
When going over bumps or man hole covers the rear of the car will skip to the right when it hits. Any ideas on what to look for? Car has 50,000mi.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
im gonna say have your thrust bushings looked at. They're fluid filled and wear out over time....when my bushings failed, my car was skipping to the right or left everytime i hit a manhole cover, bump or ashphault snakes.

I had this issue in my old C240. The issue for me was having a terribly off Camber. I needed some new thrust bushings as well and to reallign the car and most importantly check the CAMBER!!
