If it's not worn or broken parts, it's usually the four-wheel alignment. My Tourer was solid on the road but, after I changed the suspension, it was scary on the motorway and handled like a drugged puppy on a lead. To be fair, this particular (short) journey was taking the car to the re-aligners so no biggie but it was pretty frightening, nonetheless.
Afterwards, it transformed the car back to the usual expected roadholding standards.

On a motorway with slight undulations, the car would wander above 50. I dont know if the broken spring caused that or shocks, though I would have said shocks, they really did cause the car to rebound a lot when pushed down. Broken spring is easy to check in most cases. Take wheel off the jacked up car and simply look and gentle pull on the spring to feel for movement
