rear bushes or wromg pressure in your tyres. when i say bushes check the shock bushes top and bottom as they are likely to be 10 years old plus now 2

fezzys are notorius for twitchy arses. they r round corners anyway are u braking goin in corners i've a mk 5 van and got it lowerd 40mm allround the only time i find it stable in corners is i've got a bit of weight in the back i stuck 2 40 kg bags of coal in the back and it handle sweet so i'm thinkin to lower mine a bit more at da back as it sits front lower than the back but that might b because i've the heavier diesel engine if not have u tried strut braces
