I meant to mention that but had a brain cramp.
The Panhard rod is a definite suspect, but there are also the rods running fore and aft behind the axle on each side. they have bushings at both ends and I know they were affecting handling on my old C900 before it passed away.
Definitely worth crawling back thhere for a look. That should be done with the car on ramps or on a lift that keeps the suspension in normal compression/load, as otherwise the various pieces will be loaded differently than on the road and problems may not be obvious.
The other possibility is the trailing arms. Bushings, breakage and rust are all candidate to inspect for.
A rear suspension issue could make power-on oversteer possible as the rear end would be steering the car. Sorta like rear-wheel steering on a hook and ladder fire truck.
MARK... does the oversteer happen more in one direction than another?
