To stop body roll in corners

the reason i ask is , when i corner , the back end seems to " wiggle " before straightening up ...... ive had all shocks /springs replaced some time ago , so it cant be that

if you have links at the back, replace them, but check the rubbers, if worn, there you go...

How long ago did you do the shocks Briggie, and were they the right ones ?
Wriggly back end more usually shocks but it could also be trailing arm bushes or top arm bushes too, but you'd probably here them slapping about a bit too
Back arb is less influential on the T2 but no idea on yours mate. Get someone to give the drop links a waggle and the bar bushes too
