My rear end is SO WOBBILY?

my car feels like its ALL OVER THE ROAD when im on bumpy sufaces or hitting bumps, uneven road surfaces?

Feels like the car (the rear) is out of control....

anyone know what could be causing this? its not the tires because we just had new tires put on and the pressures are sure to be correct... please help...

"Pressures are sure to be correct" I still would check the pressure myself. You never know who worked on the installation of your new tires...Any problems with the ABC?

i checked the pressures and they are correct

the rims aren't bent either...

i am guessing it is the abc too... do you guys know which specific parts may be the potential cause of this?

thanks!

if you haven't heard a loud pop

and you're not getting the abc warning light on the dash, then it may just be a seal on one of the abc hoses.

Cupped rear tires from lack of rotation is my bet. My CL feels washy with worn cupped tires.

You need to rotate tires with this car every 3000-5000 miles or the rear will feel sloppy as the tires cup with wear.
