wet road makes car go smoother

I have found a 300E (24V) that Im driving around for a couple of days now - and planning to buy if the owner agrees - it was standing for about a year due to some bad wiring bits (OVP, NSS) and worn out key, the car is OK for its age - no concours etc. (far more powerful than my diesel of course), body cladding, black leather etc - could use a weeks worth of detailing team elbow grease.

The car drives a bit funny - the alignment is terrible (tires are 5 years old - front nearly chewed flat from the outer edges) - I tried to quick fix align it so atleast it does not want to yank to the left.

While driving it on the dry - it felt like it needed a new set of struts and shocks, but when I drive on wet roads the car becomes smooth as a new car, perfect body control on the same roads it was hopping and hammering on.

How can water cause this? dry bushings?
