Suspension?

From the first week I got this car, the rims had to be re-balance. The steering wheel was shaking a little but now thats fixed. I peeled out really good a few times showing off. Maybe that caused the wheel balancing?

Now, when I go over bumps I can feel the steering wheel move or pull. Sometimes when I come to a stop depending on how bad the road is the steering wheel will pull really hard to one side at the stop.

What does this mean? I've already asked the dealer to check the suspension and the said it looks alright. Do I need wheel alignment or what ? They did the rear subframe replacement and I was told that they did a alignment after.

Feels like its pulling from left to right. Sometimes it's noticable and sometimes its not.

If it isnt constant i would say that its just the crown of the road moving you around. The steering wheel is going to move when you hit bumps etc and I wouldnt sweat it

I was thinking the same thing. My last car I put on a stut tower brace front and rear. I forgot how the car can pull over bumps without the tower bar.
