Now I feel like my steering wants to turn left or rightwhenever it wants to, or maybe its been happening before but I haventnoticed it.It is quite apparent when I drive on the highway. The steering givesfeedback that it wants to turn to the right, but if I let the steeringgo, it will spin just a little towards the right then goes left againslightly, then right again slightly. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Andif run on the highway where one side of the road is slightly higher thanthe other (those stretches where one side has been recently re-tarred) Iexperience a sharp feedback towards the side of the road that's lowerthan the other. The feedback is not enough to threaten the direction thecar is going, but enough to make me feel I need to grip on the steeringjust in case it does suddenly change direction abruptly.I've done the alignment 3 times in 1 week some 3 months ago when Ichanged the rims, and they all said its normal. I dont think its normalbut I dont have another bimmer to test and compare to.Is this what you call bump steer? If not, what is it?</p></blockquote><p></p>
