Exclamation Terrible tracking- Need help ASAP!!

I just posted in the Western Canada section but I need help from everyone. I have a 2008 EX-L. I have four good snow tires on the car. I have had a wheel alignment done. I have had the rear upper control arms checked (SB # 08-001). The rear end of the car is slipping and sliding all over the place starting at about 45 kph (25mph). It is so bad that loss of control is a very real and constant fear. Yes it's winter and the roads are poor but this problem exists on wet summer pavement too.
Ideas?

Hi

Did you do a wheel alignment, or just have it checked? I will start for getting a secound opnion on alignment.

Good luck

Did this only started with the back end coming around when you put snow tires on it?
The car is oversteering ...try decrease the air pressure in the rear tires by 4 psi to give it more grip.

If the snow tires are not evenly worn out, then put the best tires on the rear..

See if that helps.
