Has it been lowered or have the springs been changed
is it OHV or OHC
wrong springs on heavier OHC engine would do it

Hello and welcome. Got any photos of the car, including reg number? I would imagine weak springs, and or very worn bushes could cause the problem but they would have to be well worn.
