check the rear shocks for signs of a leak
if the back end is going left then that is the one to check  :y
had a escort years ago that went that way
you coulnt  tell on the bounce test but as soon as the weight transfared onto that side in a corner, the bugger collaped and spun the car
once i got used to it though it was great fun on roundabouts  :D :D
