Default Does ur IS do THIS ?
when braking on a uneven surface steering wheel will turn to the sloping side and u would have to fight it to keep it straight
then when you go over a bumpy road steering wheel will go berserk(well not crazy berserk) and you will have to fight it to control?

anyone get this .. i get this ... its kinda annoying that i have to fight hte steering wheel so much while cruising .. its making my arms muscular

Do you have wider tires on your car? After I put wider wheels/tires on my mustang, the problem that you're describing when braking was MUCH more noticeable.

I agree with you, it's annoying, because it's UNPREDICTABLE. I'd go up to a stop light, and sometimes the car would just "push" toward a side. You'd never know which side, if any (unless you've been on that road before).

In the end, I think it's just due to wide tires that have more contact patch taking the car where the road slopes.

i have the same problem too. well its not really a problem, you kinda have to expect something to be different when you lower your car and have aftermarket rims, i think the camber has something to do with it. but the lines on the freeways where the pavement is kinda pieced together, my car seems to be guided by that and i have to fight for control there i dont know if anyone has that problem too
