My solid rear axle Mustang did this, not my TTQ.

Default Try to get all of your symptoms into one post, it makes it easier to analyze. Based on this and the

post below, your tires may be worn out and/or over inflated. Also, inspect for worn bushings or other suspension components. YOur car looks like a quattro, is it? This is important info also.

Anyway, check you tire pressures, you may get a suprise.

Default Does it feel like your driving in a cross breeze? Meaning power "feels" like it transfers side

to side? My car did/does that. I'm told its a suspension/alignment imbalance as the Haldex can't tranfser power side to side as I think I feel it "do". Tires can be worn or ot can be out of alignment spec making it easier for it to tramline and do that. I drove a newer car the other day that didn't have any of these symptoms and it was a night and day difference.

Default Sounds like a shock dampening/rebound issue, the wifes Sport Trac....>>

does that, as well as my old CJ. It like to shimmy toward the outside of the corner.

Default wheels, tires or alignment...

i've had those same symptoms before when my alignment was off... that'd be my first guess

also, your wheels are unbalanced, rubbing, tires unevenely worn, etc could do that too.

Did you recently do suspension or wheels?

It does it even without corners...just going straight on freeway.
