When I turn left, give some gas, then let go of the gas, my car jerks to the right. It doesn't happen EVERY time, but 98% of the time. It sometimes does the same thing when I turn right, but not as often. Also, when I go over speed bumps, it feels like my front passenger side wheel is about to fall off.

Could be any number of things..... wheel bearing, tie rod end, rack and pinion... but it does sound dangerous and you should have it looked at ASAP if it causes loss of steering control
