Q: The car goes to the right on bumpy roads and bounces badly
Hello. I have some problems, possibly with the alignment, when I drive on bumpy roads. The car has no issues going on the even road, but if there are bumps, it seems to go to the right. I have almost new tires. They have much thread on them. When the road isn't even, it bounces badly and I have to keep the steering wheel tightly, so that I can drive straight. What should I do?
