Steering issue
96 sc400 Was driving yesterday in the ran. (Not that bad) was at a red light proceeded to make a slight left hand turn and light throttle and rear end fish tailed and lost full control and almost hit someone. The steering wheel is always in different positions after a turn or a bump and I checked all suspension parts and all seem to be good but dont know what else could be the problem. Any assistance is greatly appreciated

do you have Trac control?
Slight rain after a dry period is the worst condition for driving. With the rear wheel drive and v8 the car becomes very touchy.
When I drive my son's SC ['95 400 with no trac] on wet roads, I use feather weight on throttle and hold on to my seat with imaginary muscles.

You may have alignment issues, also. My SC was the most terrifying thing I've ever driven in heavy rain, by a magnitude of several hundred, being absolutely uncontrollable in standing water on the highway. I've never had an issue with holding steady through hydroplaning on any other car. And we get lots of practice driving in the rain here! Turns out the alignment was all out of whack from the previous owner, despite tracking very straight. After getting it aligned, the car has been very smooth and predictable in bad weather.
