Two Explorer Problems
I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport that has developed two problems:
1. Whenever the car hits a bump, the vehicle moves to the right or to the left more than it used to.
2. Frequently, when turning, the back end of the truck feels like it is moving or fishtailing - almost like it has a trailer connected to it and I feel the trailer move.
Any ideas on either of these issues?

2. Check tire condition (shifted belts, etc)
3. Check suspension parts for wear--shocks, front end, springs and shocks, etc.
4. Check alignment
