Thumbs down Weird feeling?!?!?!

Hiya guys, I have a problem with my 7 and it freaks me out every time it happens.
OK heres the problem when I'm cruising along and I run over a little hole or bump the back end feels like it looses grip and sways to the side.
Also when I try to make a hard right turn, something in the back feels like it's hopping around and feels very dangerous. Although when I turn hard to the left it feels rock solid.
Could this be the DTSS messing the back end up??
Help me out here guys this problem sucks, make the car handle worse than a rustang

That's not how the DTSS should feel. It might be a busted shock, give each corner the bounce test (should only bounce once, both side even). Crawl underneath and look to see if something's come adrift. If you have no luck take it to a suspension shop and get them to have a good look.
