When my sons driving, it feels like the back is swaying or wobbling. What could this be? Please and thank you.

Hi!
My first thought would be to check the wheel studs. They can, in time, become stripped and need to be replaced. The lug nuts should snug down, but if it seems they are spinning, then they are stripped. I would look at your sway bar links at the rear of your vehicle. These are both fairly inexpensive to replace.
Let us know if there is anything further we can help you with!
