i have 96 eclipse rs with 150,000 miles and hav the same problem car fishtails and on like crazy but only on bumps and road elevation changes
and on right turns at high speeds like on the freeway.i also think it might be the bushing and what not also it has somthin to do with the rear alingment.but i could be wrong if anyone else has any info please help

I had the same problem, but it was in the front and i had discovered that the lower control arm was bent, also the camber was way off. If i were you I would take it and see if you can get and alignment, and they will look for loose or bent parts. My college teacher says that cars don't steer in the front it's the rear that does the steering, if you understand that at all.

Professor? College Professor? camber wouldn't have an effect like this. all camber does is lean the tires to run on the inside (or outside if you wanted...) running with 3* negative camber (inside sidewall) will actually IMPROVE drive ability, cornering, as well as wheel response... this is that "driving on rails" feeling. but its going to eat tires for breakfast. (though i have seen unusually long tire life from guys running aggressive camber lately.)

as for the problem you guys are having with the rear of the car swinging out on you, it has been said at least 5 times prior to this post. has ANYONE experiencing this problem even looked at the bushings holding the rear suspension together? my money is on finding the problem here.
