Default rocking!!!

Im a little confused regarding this so hoping someone can bring some light to this for me.

I have a 01-plate bugeye impreza GX, when driving it feels ok but if I coast along or keep the speed low but steady say a rolling speed between 10mph to 25-30mph the whole car shakes and rocks side to side, it shakes you on the seat like people are rocking the car. Someone suggested the knock sensor which I expensively bought from subaru but not fixed the problem. Any ideas are fully appreciated

Chris.

So its probably not engine related. Id go with a square tyre. Jack them up one by one and spin the wheel. Youve probably got a deformed tyre
