Problem With Dampers? Anyone

Hi, I have a 2008 1.4 D4D Auris in Portugal, with 33000 kilometers.

Recently, I found my car behavioring in a strange way. When I'm about 10Km/h of speed, my car seems to be balancing, from left to right, the same feeling as if it was missing something on the right side. After that speed, the car balances too much. I make big trips and the car is almost always balancing, even in really small road defects (where other cars don't balance). I know our car is very soft, but this is not normal.

Talked to my dealer, says it's fine. However, today, went to a tyre house to equilibrate my wheels (I don't know if this is the appropriate name), and asked to make a dampers test (they had the machine). And my surprise was in the front of the car had 69% on the left and 66% on the right, and in the back side, 43% on the left and 34% on the right).

The dampers do not show any oil, it meens that on the outside everything is really fine, however, on a test this seems to me a poor, very poor result. My car makes 75% of the kilometers no pretty good highways, my driving is extremely careful and nothing happened on my car (on my hands, I'm the only driver).

Has anyone had similar problems with your Auris?

your problem seems to be deformed rims, roll then balance them (all 4), and the symptoms will disapear

The 4 wheels are fine. I ve checked them also this morning, there was no deformation at all, not on a wheel or on a tire. Only needed to be balanced, but the car behavior was just a little bit better!
