Stability problem..

Hi guys, I noticed a strange feeling in the front today. While pushing it real hard, it feels like the car is lifting up in front. Not that it wants to go left or right, but a very un-comfy feeling like it would loose contact with the ground. Steering also feels 'light'. Not under normal driving, just when I floor it @ the autobahn..
Anyone ever experienced this ? I don't want to go to the dealership yet..not before I know what it 'could' be..Any help or info would be welcome..Thanks.

I get that too, front starts shaking a little too. I think it is the ball joints, control arms. With less weight on front the wheels get to dance a little.

I'll just have to take it to the dealer next week and see whats wrong. I just don't want to drive it like this. I know about the rear squat and front end lifting a little under hard acceleration, but this is something diffrent. I"ll let you know...
