My car handles pretty well on smooth roads, but when I get on roads with imperfections or bumps, my steering wheel has a tendency to jolt around left to right according to the bump. My prev vehicle was RWD so this never really occurred. Is this normal for a FWD car or is something loose/in need of replacement? Thanks. |

It sounds like you are describing some worn struts. New struts always seem to help that "bouncing all over the road" feel. I'd say you probably are in need of struts badly if it is causing that.
Side note: When I installed new axles, I noticed the steering became very much "tighter" than it was previously. Also more sensitive, felt like a new car. I wouldn't go replacing things like crazy though. The cars are old, as chacha mentioned before, and things are getting loose and worn. Edit: Try the bounce test.

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
