S550 Suspension?

I was driving my 07 S550 on a somewhat rough freeway and it seemed to over compensate when going over bumps/etc. It is hard to explain but it felt like the rear of the car would hit a bump and swing one way then the suspension would try to prevent it. Sounds weird but it just did not feel right. It was like I said, the airmatic was over compensating for the rough road. Anyone else ever feel this? I will eventually go to the dealer but I want to be able to describe it in a better way so they do not think that I am nuts. Thanks.

Did you ever solve the problem? My 07 does the same plus is very sensitive to water on the road. Another blog says they changed tires from Continental to Bridgestone with some relief.

Softgenious - What you describe is exactly what I experienced....not sure how to describe it any better....I had a tech go on a drive with me, and he said he felt it, but they never could solve the issue....
