Ok.most of my front end is new, but for some reason when the road differs, my car jerks that way.Its like someone grabs my steering wheel and pulls me that direction.What should i be looking for to fix this?
 
there directionals.V pattern.It really doest jerk as much as follow the curves,groovs in road.I know i have a sway bar end link thats shot that im replacing tomorrow.Could that cause it?I also have a real shaky steering wheel.
 
It could. I would also have the front end aligned. This will accomplish 2 things. First it helps with tire wear and handling. 2, it will tell you if you missed a bad front steering/suspension part as it won't align.

Good Luck
 
Thanks guys!Iv replaced both balljoints..outer tierods...cvs...shocks...strutmounts...wheel bearings...and for some reason my tie rods are bad again.I think its cause i didnt replace it all at once.And something caused them to go bad again.Im putting on new outer tierods and swaybar end link tomorrow and have them check it all again befor the alighnment.

A more aggresive tread pattern tends to do that.
Agreed. It sounds like tram-lining (which comes from England and driving over what we'd call railroad tracks embedded in the street). This is often called trammeling, too, which is just the two words mushed together.

Besides tread pattern, trammeling is exacerbated by high tire pressure, low tire profile, lack of toe-in, loose tie-rods or rack, bad ball-joints, squishy bushings, phases of the moon, and a few other things I have probably forgetten to list.

Thanks again!I found part of the problem, with wheel shaking.Iv rebalanced my wheels AGAIN,and they were way off.The readings were:2.00 1.00 .75 and .75 and thats befor they took the old weights off.
