Default My car wiggles....WHY?

My car is lower with coil, the driver side is a little higher than passenger after its lowered(common in our cars) And I have 265/30/20 on 10.5 wheel, negative -3.9 camber(only Megan camber arm, no upper arm). My concern is WHY my car(rear) wiggles and squirm when hitting bumps and dips while accelerating? Very noticeable when only one wheel(rear) hits bump on freeway. Is it because I have too much negative camber in the rear? Or I need the upper arm to make the suspension geometry works? Or is it the quality of Megan? Thanks in advance!

Yes camber could be factor. Stickiness of the tires is another factor.
