Ok ... another probably dumb question,


when driving at around 50 -70MPH when the road has some very slight rough spots (small bumps in the road) You car shouldn't get loose should it? I mean it almost feels almost like your hydroplaning. This is obviously not a good thing, but this is the issue I am getting, does anyone know what could be causing this? I am planning on taking it to a shop, but would like to know some possible causes.

Any help is highly appreciated.

I had this feeling once before, but it turned out to just be low tire pressure for me...damn cold weather. I would start by checking that, also your rubber subframe bushings could be shot and might need replacing.

Blown shocks
Low tire pressure
Poor alignment
Damaged suspension components

Filling up my tires fixed this issue for me. You can lose a lot of pressure over the winter

have the mechanics check out your alignment while their at it....and then make it a habit to check your pressure! :bigok:
