When i am on a high speeds (65-70 m/ph) sometimes. that is the wierd part sometimes, it almost like jerks to the right and almost seems like something is loose in suspension. After a while it just stops doing it. In the city it drives just fine. However, today it started doing the same thing even when i was driving 50 mph..its frustrating. I went to shop the guy drove on a highway and came back said nothing is wrong. After diognostics he said suspension is absolutely fine everything is tight,,,has anybody encountered such problem..if yes help will be appreciated

  When this jerking of the steering wheel to the right occurs at speed on the freeway are you maintaining a straight line and or does the car encounter a bump or pot hole and then pull to the right. Does the power steering appear to work smoothly, not moaning and groaning or loosing fluid?
  It is likely to be something in the suspension., I would have it checked out by an alignment shop, check the struts and control arms.

  no it happens when i am driving on a perfectly even road. There is no unusual sounds or vibration no liking either...also tire wear is normal too. There are no uneven wears on one side...strange..could be something in steering shaft or rack? or tie rods maybe?
