im having the same issue and its getting scary driving on the freeway. I went to a Firestone and they checked shocks/struts which were okay. They put on new tires and did an alignment. The tires are Champion Fuel Fighter BL 185/60r15. Are these okay tires?

With that wandering/floating feeling is there any chance the car can just flip over? It certainly feels like it when the freeway veers right.

If your car does not have one already, get a rear sway bar installed first, then consider new tires if still needed..... they are easy to install. just do a diy rear sway bar search on here for more info.

I don't think I've ever mentioned before. Be careful when just adding a rear sway bar to a stock car. The car will oversteer more in corners.

Be careful at first but don't worry about it....i added one to my Yaris and on the flip side i would probably be concerned about how it handles if someone were to remove the sway bar without telling me..

Just add a few bags of sand in the spare wheel well. With an extra 80-100lbs or so on the rear axle you'll be just fine driving up to 80mph. With 150lbs on the hitch and 100lbs in the rear I got up to 100mph before the car felt a little float with a (driver) single occupancy.
