Wiggle on the back end!

My 1968 traveller Dorris has a strange wiggle on the back end you feel it when you pull away or slow down, the back end of the car goes side to side!
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Marcus

Hopefully it's just the shackle bushed on the springs, I'd get it checked as soon as possible in case it's something more serious.

Possibly a problem with one of the tyres.

thanks think the tyres are all good and have fitted poly bushes all around and noticed nothing strange when taking all apart.
the problem was happening pre Poly bushes too!

Maybe you should check the rear axle is secure.

Rotten perches on the axle...allowing it to shift on the springs? Take the spring U bolts off to check.... Or - maybe just a broken main leaf in a spring ??
