Car "wobble" on left turns

[pf330ci]

I just got my first e30 and I have noticed recently that when driving at speeds in excess of 30mph and while turning left the car feels extremely unstable and almost "wobbles" in the rear end and then immediately catches itself and stabilizes.

I have checked the bushings and control arms and they all look well sorted. I had it jacked up the other night on the passenger side and tried to shake the front and rear wheel to see if it might be a bearing but they were both tight with no play.

Has anyone else had this issue? I need to get it fixed, but don't really just wanna randomly throw parts at it to see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the help

Although you say you checked them, my bet would still be on bearings, tie-rods, bushings, or alignment. Posting in the proper section may also benefit in more precise answers.

Drive your car around with a knowledgable passenger some more and see if you can localize the vibration any better. Your description of the "wobble" is kind of vague. Good luck man!

if the rear is all original most likely the bushing are all shot.
maybe diff bushing makes your car wobble

Yeah sorry for the terrible description. It was the best I could come up with at the time. Haha anyway, I figured out what it was tonight. Jacked the car up to shake all the wheels and found the driver side rear was extremely loose. Jacked the car up, took the wheel off, and found the nut that is in front of the wheel bearing was freaking barely on at all! Good thing I drove from GA to TN with it like that... Oh well, it's fixed now and corners as it should!
