I'd go with Ray on this one. My midget did exactly the same until this
weekend I replaced the rear springs (which weren't too bad really) and all
the bushes and rubber pads (which were horrible and old). The problem
seems to have stopped. I too wondered for a long time if I was just imagining
that the rear end was moving around. Does it also happen on S bends, first one
way then the other ??
