Hey guys,

Got this weird handling issue on my Passat B7 2.0 TDI wagon (103kW, DSG).

Symptoms:
• At low speeds (city driving), it sways left-right noticeably - feels like the body is rocking side to side on the seat
• In corners it feels floaty/unstable, like driving on water, no planted feeling
What I’ve checked:
• 18” wheels (235/45 tires) - rims are straight/balanced fine
• Same issue happened with previous 17” tires
• Trapezoid arms inspected by mechanic - all good
• New shocks installed just 3000km ago

No obvious clunks/rattles, just this constant rocking/floaty sensation.
Anyone experienced this? What could it be - bushings, sway bar links, diff mounts, or something else?
Thanks!
