rear shockies possibly? Stand at the back of the car and bounce the rear up and down. Get a nice bounce happening then let go, the shocks should react instantly and settle the car. If it continues to want to go up and down then there stuffed

i had this in my ke70. the bushes for the panhard rod were shot. allowing the body to move side to side on the diff.

took me bout 45 mins to fix the problem and 10 bucks for the bushes. you should check them out

i just had a look under the car and all i could see was the lower suspension arms have really worn rubbers and i could twist them do u think that could be it because replace ment ones are a good $70 thnx guys
