   My back end has come round to say hello a few times I brush it off and tend not to worry about it but it could be serious.

   were you alone in the car?
   
   mine does it, the back left locks up. However when I have a passanger all is well again. Its to do with the weight distribution.

   Mine use to do it alot more when the rear was stripped out and it was running standard ride height.
   
   If you've messed about with any of the above maybe you need to adjust the bias valve.

    check the bias valve isn't seized, take the nearside rear wheel off and you'll see it, large spring, just spray it with wd40. could also be one of your rear calipers has had it.
