Default Wobble in the back when making left turn

Hello,

Sorry for the noob question. When I make a left turn, I can feel a sort of "wobble" from the rear of the car when I finish the turn. What is that called? Is there a way to reduce that effect?

This isn't a common thing? It's been doing it since I got it new. I haven't modified anything.

I have a Camry and it doesn't do this.

can be from an unbalanced wheel, excessive wear on parts of the tire (spots), damaged/loose suspension and/or wheel parts best bet is bringing it to the dealership and having them check it out

This isn't the definition of "body roll" that I hear in the other threads? What is body roll and what kind of feeling does it give off?

Body roll is basically the car tilting or leaning to one side from the weight transfer. Most cars shouldn't feel wobbly, the body roll is just leaning, not wobbling.

th easiest way to explain body roll is if you've ever been on a roller coaster.
When you go through a turn the rollercoaster takes the turn... but you swing to the outside of the turn... it's your car doing that.
