My assumption is your problem is from bad tires, and mine is from a bad alignment and bad tires.

Very interesting. Thanks for the input.

I hope you get this issue sorted out soon, as I'm sure driving an unsafe car is no fun. Keep us posted.

Why don't you replace your outer tie rods with some SPL's ? That may fix the bump steer issue. Any else care to chime in?
