I'll have a look for you on Thurday, just make yourself known to me.

Its VERY hard to diagnose anything without a good description or visually checking it.

How long has it happend for?
Haseanything changed on the car recently?

Its one of 2 things, puntos are prone for the rear radius arm bushes wearing excessivly, this is the arm that holds your rear suspension/wheel to the chassis or you have snapped a shock absorber smack
