Simple Car Question...Know Your Automotive Knowledge?

[JJ]

Alright, something has been going on with my car that's been frustrating me, because I know it's something simple but I can't figure out what it is...here's the deal.

Over bumps (whether small ones on the highway at speed, say, >55mph or big ones - think school zone bumps at 15mph) my car has a tendency to sway from left to right...this is a recent development, and I can't help but think it's something that needs tightening...

..any ideas, or solid answers?

Thanks in advance. Although I don't think it's relevant, car is an 04 Mits. Galant.

Could be so many different things.

Could be the air pressure is lower on one side of the tires.

Could be that the air pressure is low on both tires.

Could be that one of the tires is more worn out then the other.

Could be a bushing thats busted.

Could be amir trying to sabotage your vehicle for being a blu-ray supporter.

Could be anything!!

Checked that first, theyre at full.

Same...

...they are a bit worn, but theres a good bit of tread left on them.

Could be a bushing thats busted.

Eh? Need to read into that.

SON OF A *****, no wonder my Blu-ray purchases would go missing if I left them in my car...

Could be anything!!

Dammit, Blitz!!! lol...the fact that its a recent thing is what drives me crazy.

I thought that, as well, and I'm going to check that tonight - but I thought the effects would be much more dramatic than what I feel now.
