Strange "loose" feeling in rear in an 89 Honda Accord coupe

2 door, LXi, 89 Honda Accord, around 140k miles, etc etc etc... in the first bit of a turn, it feels almost like the rear end "kicks out" - not too horribly bad, but a strange feeling.

The same "looseness" becomes apparent in high-speed manuevering, which means one little sweve becomes a fair annoyance (rear end shimmies, so I correct, etc - end up swerving back and forth more than I really should for one minor dodge)


Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm assuming this isn't just "normal behavior"?

check to see if your shocks are still bolted up tightly, along with any type of OEM sway bars you have back there, something sounds like it came loose, either that, or you got no treads left back there.
