My steering has suspention of its own!!WTF??

Hey guys, need some help here, whenever I go over the bumps it feels like my steering jumps/moves also, like the whole steering rack moves(ratles?). I just replaced the stabilizer links and put ES LCA bushings in. Is there anything I can do? LIke tie rods, wheel bearings replacing, ball joints, would it help? Thank you!!

He's not talking about the car leaning, he's talking about the STEERING WHEEL itself.

How much does it shake or move when you hit a bump. It is normal to feel something from the steering when when you hit bumps. On older cars like ours, it could be more pronounced as suspension/steering components are worn out.
