Back of car shimmys way too much

I have a '94 Mercury Cougar XR7 (approx 50k miles). Lately the back of the car shimmys alot when I hit a bump or ride across small patches of snow. The brakes are okay and I recently had an alignment and wheel balance. I don't feel safe driving the car in wet road conditions because of this. Do you have any idea what it may be?

Mercury xr7 starts then starts coughing and chocking like not

My cougar does the same, it starts and then about 1 minute later (or so) the check engine light comes on and the car idles really high, with black smoke out the exhaust. It stays in second gear i think and it will not shift out of it. Max speed is 40 mph with the rpms screaming, it will go off after a long time but this is agrivating. I have a 94 mercury cougar xr7 3.8 ltr Any help please?

94 Mercury Cougar xr7 3.8l Belt Tensioner Re Install

The tensioner is not adjustable, the spring in it provides a preset tension, I don't understand what you did, but if it came apart then most likely you damaged it, buy a new one, if you get it wrong and it falls apart on the road you are stuck.
