Well I've noticed that when I go over bumps (even small ones) in the road, my steering wheel jerks a bit in the direction of the wheel going over the bump. It isn't speed dependent, same amount of movement no matter what speed. I haven't felt this in other cars I've driven or maybe it just wasn't as noticeable? I have brand new tie rods inner/outer the car just had a 4-wheel alignment, i do have a bit of vibration between 90-105 km/h so i think my wheel balance is out but i don't think this could cause it, could it? I have super hicas 240 so it comes stock with stiffer suspension and front/rear sway bars could this be why? Any help would be great!! Thanks.

Check the steering rack bushings for wear. Also check the tension rod bushings.

yeah

tension rods play a pretty big role in how your steering is affected by the road. I recently replaced my stock tension rods with megan racing adjustible tension rods and as soon as i had them adjusted to what i like, my steering wheel hasent really moved to much going over bumps. i do get more feel out of what i go over tho.

Hey thanks for the help people. I was thinking of replacing those bushings anyways and new tension rods are also on my list so that's perfect! Glad for the good news hehe. I'll keep you posted.

also check your power steering see if it is leaking...this could cause some of these symptoms but most likly your bushings

I checked the power steering already when I replaced the tie rods, no leak whatsoever. But good thinking! Thanks, oh yeah that trunk latch fix is ****ing awsome, thanks man!
