92 Celica ST With a wiggle???

My son just bought a 92 Celica that once you get to 70 mph and start maintaining speed, the back wiggles a bit, feels like the wind is moving you around. Car looks to be sound, can't see any noticable accident damage. could it be allignment

what you have there is a case of bad suspension locating arm bushings, you have to buy the arms from the dealership at a cost of about $200 CDN per @ 4, BUT, if you're lucky you may just need to replace the sway bar end links or sway bar bushings.

Have an alignment shop check it first before putting down the money on new arms. Alignment bolts may be loose or horribly bad tires
