My car refuses to stay straight without constant correction on uneven roads. Lane changes have been a bit wobbly as well. This issue is really concerning to me, and I need to know whether the car is even safe to drive. It isn't a losing control sensation, but it's still unusual. I had the wheels off not too long ago for some bulb changing. Is it possible I didn't torque them correctly?

On a side note, this car is under warranty, and the suspension hasn't been messed with at all. Perhaps I could get it checked at a dealer?

Thanks,

It could be tramlining, a wheel alignment issue or maybe you need new tires. How many miles do you have on your car?

3800 miles, roughly. There's no way the tires are the culprit. I'll try remounting my wheels tomorrow and make sure I do it properly.

I'm not sure if it's tramlining. The car didn't drive like this before.

more than likely its an alignment issue or just in your head. stock suspension at 3500 miles probably wont be your problem. could always try the dealer though

I will admit: I had been screwing around in a parking lot and hit one of those long and short speedbumps going 40 mph. The car was shaken pretty bad, but it seemed to still handle okay, so I thought nothing of it.

Is it possible I messed up my alignment?
