Bump Steer?!?!
Not sure what to call it, but here it goes
Driving at 30-40mph when the car's one front wheel hits a good pump, my steering wheel will kick most of the time towards the right.
I do have bad crappy tires....but whats the deal with this issue.
Also, on highway if i would to stab the brake pedal with some good force, The car will dive(normal) but it dives more towards the driver side. Creates this weared motion....
Input anyone?
Thanks

That's what i was thinking.....
Im gonna pull the wheel this saturday after i get back from the Dentist and a Phily Salvage Yard. If its a blown shock, should i see oil leaking down the tube.....or?
I must say, last time i washed the car, That wheel had some "funny oil-was coated with something" on it.
Ohh, i forgot. I do have a bad front wheel bearings(yes i know, i need to get back on the fix it wagon)

63K miles......I guess another add to the fix list.
Ohh...i see you got lots of buddy work to be done...
IMHO...i would run to a U-pull it junk yard and pick-up 2 doors. That would save boat loads of time. I know of a 96-97 A4 in Central Jersey that was hit in the rear. Rest of the car is in perfecto condition.

Push down on the corners of your car...if the car springs back in one fast motion then your
shock is fine at that corner...if it bounces a bit and/or returns in a lazy fashion....BLOWN SHOCKS....leaking oil CAN happen but doesn't always.....
