loose feeling rear

ok hears the deal, when driving through the mountains i gotta slow down alot like were talking 50 through a 60 mph turn.
Otherwise it feels like my back end will just break loose. Im thinking i need a new panhard bar, anyone else got any suggestions


*edit*
this is with the 91, on the 92 i cant take the same turns at 80mph plus

if i were you i would put your car on a lift or jackstands and have a look under your car. Check out the bushings and look for bent parts such as the pan hard bar and also take a look at the sway bar endlinks (seeing as that has alot to do with cornering). You want to do a intire visual inspection of the rear end before comming to a conclusion. while you have it up you can change the differential fluid and look at the gears. Dont forget to check the drive shaft for play and such.

We would need specific details as to what if anything has been changed, altered, aftermarket (Anything from stock configuration). Don't know form the little info you have given if its componant related or just settings.

With those low profile tires though, my assumption and question is- is it dribbling out from under you? (back wheels feel like a basketball as you glance over road imperfections in corners)
