Default problem in my 240, mostly when i hit dips in the highway/bumps

usually when i hit bumps / crumbling road / dips, whatever, in the highway in my 240.. the back end wants to jut to the right, and i dunno what it is. been pondering for quite some time.. any ideas? and to make sure its just my car, ive driven my mom, and her husbands car a few times, in the same locations and spots, and their's did not do it.

Check your rear control arms (RUCA, toe control, etc) make sure they're not broken or loose.

Has the car been loweed without an alignment?

+1 for a bent rear suspension piece. Sounds like classic bumpsteer.

Lowered on sportlines with GR-2 struts. I don't know what I'm looking for, or at, when/if I looked.. so I'm kinda screwed on that.

yea if u havent found the problem, then i might have some info.....maybe, umm is the alignment off, cause i had a problem like that and did the same, it was toed inward, but got a camber kit and help alil, if thats all straight then maybe the control arms are loose, like the ppl said above, but all and all hope u find wats wrong with it if not already.......
