| Description of the problem | Our subaru started what is described as "ghost walking". Mild but noticeably last winter, severe and constant this winter (2013). On icy or snow packed roads, the vehicle's rear end moves or sways back and forth. Speed from 25 mph up to 45 mph. Can't go faster due to terrain and roads anyway. |
