Default Mother was "moving" side to side in the back

I took her and her dog to the vet yesterday but as she's only 4 months they sat the back. But going round corners and bends in general she said "this is hellish in the back it's as if it's fishtailing what's wrong". I didn't feel it but then I'm driving, when she's in the front she doesn't say it.

I don't hear or feel clunking ect from the back ie worn bushes shocks ect, what could it be.

Boot full of water. Have you tried removing the plug?..
Only kidding. Sounds like rear tyres or worn suspension

That's easy "S". What's wrong is that the MGF doesn't have any rear seats. If she returns to sitting in the front all will be well again.

You lot

Billy...I could buy it feels ok at the back from where I am but that's not to say it's not. Mot due shortly so no doubt he'll find something then.

If it was my mother-in-law, I would have removed the rear doors before the journey, just for ventilation you understand.

Put some Tina Turner on loud. She'll appreciate the car helping with body movements.
