3 wheels=no problem (except a very stiff swaybar)

You only need 3 points to define a plane. Most FWD cars will lift the inside rear under hard cornering if they are set up with a stiff rear bar. Generally, if this happens all the time, you need a stiffer front bar, or a lighter rear bar, but not necessarily.
On RWD cars with stiff front bars, you'll see the same thing, but it is often the inside front that lifts. Still a potential tuning issue, but not as scary looking for some reason.
Either way, not really a sign of impending rollover.
Function before fashion.
