I think this could be a little dangerous as I could slide and hit a car...

What do you think? Is this normal?

Thanks

I'm not convinced this isn't a belated April 1st put-on.

It's not your axle nuts or your tires. If you're breaking traction during shifts then you're accelerating very hard and/or shifting very un-smoothly.

As for bumps making the car feel "loose," it usually feels looser than it actually is. The stiff suspension really crashes over imperfections in the road.
