The car actually feels great going straight on smooth roads, and even on smooth turns. but I'm specifically talking about hitting bumps on one side of the car only. If you guys are convinced it's my alignment causing what I'm feeling and can prove it to me somehow I'd be happy to send you an amazon gift card lol.

LOL so I get a gift card if I do the work for you. Doesn't sound like much of a deal. How about you do the work properly and send me a gift card when I'm right.

The point was that I can bet an amazon gift card that an alignment is not the problem here. Please go back and read my original post so you can have a better idea of what I'm dealing with because it doesn't seem like you do.

Or you can explain to me in technical detail how camber, castor, or toe adjustment would cause a bump on one side of the car to feel any different instead of assuming an alignment will fix all my issues.

The car does not pull to the left or the right at all. There is no visibile uneven tire wear anywhere. And when I go over bumps or divots in the road that cause BOTH sides to move, I don't have this problem. So again, please explain to me how you're so certain my alignment is the issue?
