300e wiggles down the road
anyone have the problem of the car feeling like it wiggles. it feels like its in the rear end. i have replaced all of the rear subframe mounts, and rear bushings. have not yet replaced the control links, they look to be new already. any suggestions.

yes it is swaying side to side, it feels as if it is coming from the rear. it only does this when i hit a dip in the road, almost like on the the control arms is short, it pulls the car a little. when i replaced the rear subframe mounts, it seemed to help a little but the sway is still there.

Like powers said... jack up the rear and check for play in your rear wheels... could also be wheel bearings. Also, while the rear is lifted up, put the car in nuetral check to see if either of the calipers are dragging.
