My Car
My car has massive 'over-steer'. The first 30 degrees turn in the wheel do little if nothing at all. If I hit a pothole or curb the wheels will move in whatever direction they choose. If I break hard the wheels will also pitch in whatever direction, regardless of camber on the road. This causes a massive steering problem. Has anyone any ideas?
I am getting no joy from my car and really need some help. A mobile technician drove the car and admits there is a problem, but nobody can seem to find it!!!

A friend of mine had similar problems on his truck. I don't know what the final diagnosis was but he had to have the entire front suspension rebuilt. I hope yours is easier and cheaper than his.

My old Brand X truck did this... I replaced every bushing in it, and new ball joints... Trust me it was a PITA as it was original ball jionts and they were riveted in.
Id check your ball joints and check for cracked/worn out bushings
