Can too much weight in the rear seat change the balance sufficiently to bring out a minor misalignment of the front end? -it was scary!

That happens when the rear suspension cannot cope with the added weight; front of the car is lifting taking weight off the front wheels. Maybe weakened rear spring and/or shocks. If it's a steering problem like others are suggesting why is it only happening with added rear weight?
