Steering Problems

Had my alignment done twice. Still not sure it is right.No adjustment for caster or camber.
Car seems to fight the lane even when going straight. Pot hole or abruptions seem to "yank" the steering wheel out of your hand. Would it make sense to down size tires. Have 16" alloys on GXE. Go to 15" 205's? The included SAI was out of factory spec, dealer just gives BS story. This car is not relaxing to drive. Got to think about steering all the time.
Why?

I noticed the same thing.

it really hunts the ruts HARD. I've had mine looked at, all in spec. I know what you mean. You have to be careful the wheel isnt ripped from your hand. I can say the alittle extra PSI in the fronts seem to help for me.
