Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day.
When a car pulls to one side when you hit a bump or low spot in the road. That indicates there is a concern with the alignment camber, caster, toe. When the [suspension](/topics-suspension-ford/) compresses, this causes the tire angle to change and steer the vehicle to the side. I suggest you have the front struts checked for bad [shocks](/topics-shocks/) or weak springs and have an alignment performed.
Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
