Car Steers On Bump Or Rough Road by israel2563(m): 6:46am On Aug 27, 2021
Good morning house!!
My car steers to the right and sometimes to the left by itself when i climb a bump or when i drive on a rough road.
Sometimes after turning a corner, it doesn’t return to the center like it usually does, i have to turn it fast myself.
Any little rough road i drive past, I’d feel the steering trying to go right by itself but on smooth road it works well….
Car is camry 2010.

Experts in the house, your input is needed here. I am having the same issue with my 2004 Toyota Camry, it seems as if my steering is not controlling the tyres as it use to do, any small bump or rough road the car will derail. I now drive by holding my steering very tight and also reduce my speed. Driving woth one hand is a no no for now. It is even more difficult if the road is wet or flooded. I have done alignment and confirmed that both sides down leaks are OK and not shaky. What could be the cause of this issue?

Would check all shocks tomorrow…..my mechanic noticed that the front right shock absorber pad has cut. Could that be the cause? Would replace the absorber pad tomorrow morning.

from experience, shock pad will make it not return after wheeling the steering completely left or right.
