Description of the problem	2006 subaru outback 2. 5i base with automatic transmission. My vehicle has a noticeable erratic stability handling problem on the rear of the car when it has a little extra weight (like a couple medium dogs, or a few normal weight passenger in the back seat) when driving on ice conditions, the car rear of the car will sway left to right as if someone is pushing the back sides of the car left to right. This is uncontrollable side to side motion is very scary. All my other subarus 83 gl, 85brat, 92 ss, 92svx, 94 tw, never had this issue on the same types of roads. The older scoobs were rock solid, stable as a snowmobile on all conditions, and they never had dedicated snows, and could be loaded to the hilt, or not loaded at all, but the 06 outback cannot maintain a speed of 40 safely while truckers, yugos, neons, and those with worn summer tires pass going 55 not having trouble. When it happens, it like the whole back end, both rear tires, are on marbles with someone pushing the car left to right on the back windows. Driving slower is not the solution, when you are already at 40mph and the car is doing weird motions in the back, and 99% of the others on the same road, same lanes, are not having control issues, they are cruising at 55-60 and almost all the cars are mashing the brakes to not rearend granny in the uncontrollable swaying outback. Ah, so you say get dedicated snows. My other older soobs did not need them to be controllable, the other cars on the same icy road do not have dedicated snow and they have no problem. Something in the back end design, and yes they did have a tsb alignment update, still is not allowing the vehicle to be as safe on ice as other cars are.
