With the coming of the rainy season here in the PNW I have had a funny feeling that my 300D has less traction in the back than it used to. My tires are fine and there's probably 100 lb of tools, spare parts, and earthquake/avian-flu/zombie-uprising supplies in the trunk, but it's still fishtailing around wet corners whenever I hit the loud pedal a little too hard.
Then today I noticed a little bit of lateral hopping when I hit expansion joints on the freeway... something I've only ever observed before on a '71 Dart that I used to have (with, of course, a solid rear axle, not IRS). The PO claimed to have replaced "every wear part" in the suspension a few years ago, but I doubt the truth of that. (When swapping wheels this past spring I noticed that the sway bar bushings in the back looked awfully dry and cracked.) So, no telling how old anything under the car is. Any ideas?
