Side to Side Sway over bumps

Hello All,

I have a 2004 TL with 80k on it. For the last 10k or so, I have been noticing a side to side swaying when going over bumps. With more people in the car it gets worse. It's also more noticeable at high speeds. I have read many of the threads but can't find a good solution. I've taking it into the alignment shop and everything looks good. They also did a quick suspension check and did see anything. Tires have been checked as well and this is my second set with the same problem. Any suggestions on what to check or similar issues are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

What kind of tires are you running ? Every once in a long while, the tires may grab the parallel groove in the road n make you shift back n forth. That has been my experience. Especially if ubhqve directional tire like me.
