I recently purchased this car, trading in a 2001 Town & Country Van. I can't tell if it is because I switched from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive - but the car seems to wander back and forth ever so slightly at speeds over 60 mph. It is as if there is a crown in the road and the car keeps hunting for level ground. I've had the front end checked, the tire pressures are spot on and I had a front end alignment done. Car handles beautifully around town but this stability issue is just enough to make it uncomfortable to drive at speed. Any thoughts????

When I had the front end aligned, I also rotated the tires....

normally wandering is caused by ball joints or control arm bushings or idler arm wear. If there is a grease fitting on ball joints try lubing it as it will tighten them up and it may cure your wandering but I really have no further comments.
