I have a similar issue with my 04...When taking off it almost feels like the springs are unloading and popping and I can feel it through the wheel, especially when I am in a turn. Definately seems to be related to the front end getting light. I am thinking it might be a bad strut top bearing? I'v got 80K on the clock so I am going to buy new struts anyway so I will replace the bearings as well.

My steering is all A OK according to both my and my mechanic's inspection.


Any other ideas....

also you can check yur cradle bolts , this usually happens when they are loose , tighten them to specs i dont remember what the specs where , diagnol braces, also check your control arm bushings,
