When traveling above 25 mph, if I hit a road irregularity then the steering wheel shudders, and I hear a hollow thumping noise that seems to be coming from the front of the car, and if I'm traveling at freeway speeds and turning the wheel (merging, changing lanes, driving on off-ramp) and the road is slightly bumpy, the same thing happens. The car also feels "floaty" at freeway speeds, in that it seems to wander. Also, sharper turns on tight on-ramps, etc., make the car feel like it's understeering.

Hi there,

I feel it is time to have the front suspension & steering inspected. Make sure that they have a good look at the front suspension struts including all the mounting bushes.

Start here.
