Steering

[ITSME4G63]

Alright guys, heres the dilems with my steering,

Whenever I go over uneven surface, my wheel tends to pull one way or another, whenever I go over bumps or rocks or manholes, my steering wheel goes nuts, I mean I can feel everything I go over? Why is that? My ball joints are shot? I drove my friends 2g and when you go over bumps or whatnot in his car , his steering wheel is perfectly fine, doesnt start pulling over uneven surfaces, no shit. Can anyone tell me what The problem could be? Thanks.

Yes, but ways to fix it.

You'll have to jack the car up and push and pull the wheel side to side and front to back with the wheel at full droop. You should be able to clearly see where the deflection is coming from. Balljoints, wheel bearings, and upper strut bearing can all be culprits, along with every bushing, tie rod ends, etc...

Check it out, then tell us where it seems to be coming from

If your suspension checks out as OK, then have your front toe checked. What you are describing is exactly what happens when you have a lot of front toe-out. (By any chance did you lower your car and not get an alignment? Just asking.)
