I encountered the situation described above once, well more than once, but one time very severely. As mentioned is has to do with unloading the energy causing the sqaut. In a straight line, I did not think it was much. But, upon entering or exiting a corner, where the car is not straight, I really felt the unloading effect. I believe, were I not wearing a seat belt, I may have been pitched from the car. I am told Contemporaries exibit this trait and I have seen various fixes for it--torsion bars, etc.

The fix? Have been aware of issue and kept it in mind.
