For a long time now I have been dealing with bump steering, and my left front tire skidding. Well, after 3 alignments, upper & lower control arm shafts and bushings, new bushings and links on everything else under there, & new tires no difference.Wits%20End Well we finally figured out that the used spindle & steering arm I had replaced when I broke down in Indy was bent. So another spindle, S. A., ball joints & another alignment its fixed.phew
 
It can be a real fight sometimes, but as long a I win, its worth it.Thumbs%20Up

Like we say at work, you have to peel back the onion to get to the root cause if you want to fix the problem.
Glad to hear you solved the problem.
