As Randall said -- somethings loose or broken back there... if it is doing
this when you're driving straight down the road -- but also know that you
will get a sideways bounce on a rough turn even when the suspension is
correct. Back in the '60's I'd heard it called "The Triumph Trot". In the
town where I live they like to pave the pedestrian crosswalks with a cobbly
kind of brick -- hitting these in the middle of a turn can send the rear end
into a bouncy fishtail though noting dahgerous if you're expecting it.
