and he told me something i really dont want hear. he said that under acceleration, the car sways back and forth. when he got back, i drove it and sure enough, it is. now it wasnt doing it when i loaned it to him, im not looking to seek damages from him, since h is my friend and he babies everything, this probably is not his fault. i did a search and came up with causes from motor mounts, to bad suspension, to tranny/diff problems all the way up to timing issues...my question is, which is it...anybody help? the swaying is bad enough that the car actually pulls itself from one side to the other...its too dangerous to drive it, so any help is appreciated.

BTW, 1995 (yes i figured out it was a 1995, not a 96) Contour GL MTX, 109K miles. Zetec engine...
