    Hi everybody,

    I have a Honda Civic 96 with about 86k miles on it. I have noticed a weird
    behavior lately: when I drive over a bump in the road, even slight ones, the
    rear wheels briefly slide sideways.

    My questions:
    1. What is the problem - tires, suspensions?
    2. How to fix it, is it costly?
    2. Does it need immediate attention, I mean is it dangerous for the car or
    passangers?

    Thanks

    check all the bushings & ball joints of the suspension, and the shocks.
    tires are possible, but more obvious.
    depends what's wrong & whether you do the work yourself!
    yes, absolutely. it may not be so bad now it's summer, but in the
    winter, that's a /very/ dangerous condition.

    Thanks for your reply.

    This explains then why the car was so unstable on wet roads last winter.
    I'll have it fixed ASAP
