It seems like an alignment could be an issue. But, have you replaced your rear tires recently? If you have and they have crappy, low speed rating, this could happen. It happened to me on my Miata...I was trying to be cheap and used S rated tires...it was swimming all over the place. At highway speeds, it was dangerous. I am not sure if they even make tires this size in crappy speed ratings, but just food for thought....
Yes, I just replaced my rear tires with contitrac's. Not sure about the speed rating, but the specs are porsche rated or at least that's what my Shop told me. I will check into the rating of the tires. Thanks for the good information!
