86 300e rear suspension

When my car shifts gears the rear of the car fish tails. Could this be the subframe bushings? Any other suggestions would be very helpful this is my first mercedes and independent rear suspensions are somewhat new to me. Thanks

Most likely the rear thrust link OR the rubber differential mount.

Have someone do a "light" power brake in drive & then reverse & see if the rear wheel(s) move in the opening.

Yup, experiencing similar. Car pushes to the right pretty hard on acceleration, especially at hwy speeds.
