    Interesting. I have a similar setup. Doesn't really pull. Some folks record and upload to YouTube and then post.

    Have you checked your tire pressure?

    I remember one of the shops I went to for an alignment inflated the tires a bit more to my liking and had annoying bump steer. The alignment specs came out good, so I let some air out all around and noticed an improvement. The 10-ply thicccness magnified it lol

    I’ll go check tire pressure now. And tomorrow during the daylight, i will record the movement on the steering wheel and post it here. It’s just that anytime. I ride down a gravel road or grassy road or even in a parking lot with any type of rough terrain the steering wheel pulls left and right with the suspension.

    Tire pressure was fine. 32-33 psi. I don’t believe that it would cause as dramatic as a pole to the left and right my steering wheel is experiencing though. Especially for how long it’s been happening.

    Mine was a ridiculous 38 lol. It was reacting to every little dip on the road. At least you ruled that out and hope you found the problem soon!

    Having very similar problems as you. I have new LCA, front struts, UCA, steering column shaft and I’m still bump steer. Did you figure out your issue. I’m at the point of wanting to change out my rack and pinion.
