My Williams seems to have developed a strange handling fault.
On righthanders, especially long sweeping ones, it feels unstable, like the back end is suddenly affecting the steering, requiring a quick reduction in steering angle. It feels as though the backend is about to break away, but I know that it isn't. I have checked all the obvious things such as tyre pressures.
There is no problem on lefthanders at all. Any suggestions.

New pads recently fitted no problems with sticking calipers and no noticeable play in wheel bearings

Could be a seized rear beam. My 205 used to do that and the rear was shagged
