Default XKR Rear end "Twitch"

Hi All

Just recently I have noticed that when the left rear wheel drives over a bump or small pot hole in the road I feel a distinct "Twitch" of the rear end to the right. This doesn't happen if the right rear wheel encounters the same.
Any one else ever had this?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Oh, just to add , this is not high speed driving...... just tootling around at 30.

Regards
Bob

The rear suspension has a lot of wearing parts which can contribute to erratic handling. Failed 'A' Frame bushes are a common cause of the effect you describe:
