Fish as in sqeeling tires? or fish as in the rear end is wiggling around?

If it's the 2nd question, check out the bushings and bolts on the lower control arms in the rear. I had a problem once where I would hit the gas and the car would kick sideways and back when I let off. turns out one of my huge lower control arm bolts was GONE. The whole wheel was floating on the front diff mount and strut nuts.

ya never know till ya get under there.

yup, definitely get under there, take a BIG flat head screwdriver with you, a torch and a couple of spanners.

Use the screwdriver as a prybar to see what the bushes are like, and if they are worn, and tighten all the nuts and bolts.

Obviously the torch is for seeing things, Make sure you look at mounting points too, see if anything is cracking away from the body, damage to suspension arms ect.

If everything is looking good under there, maybe try some different rear wheels for a quick run. Borrow some of a larger size, with a stiffer smaller sidewall.
