Low-speed steering feedback
Anyone else experiencing a lot of low-speed steering feedback? Maybe its just the roads I drive on, but the steering wheels moves all over the place when im driving at lower speeds and its very annoying to have the car swerve every which way unless you are holding the wheel with both hands and very firmly. Is this normal or should I have it checked out?

I thought about this and maybe I didnt describe it that great and everyone thinks im talking about torque steer.
The wheel will swerve left and right when im going <40 mph without gassing it. Is this normal? maybe its the roads im on? Anyone?

This is not torque steer, it could be: tire pressure, wheel balance, wheel alignment, uneven tread or the road...
I can safely let go of my steering wheel below 60mph and it will not budge, when in traffic, I only touch it to adjust the car's direction, otherwise it is stiff and still.

The following information would be helpful for us:
What is the mileage on your car, mileage/condition of your tires (wear status, and are any of them different or in different condition from the others), and present cold pressure of each of your tires?
Any aftermarket suspension parts, and if yes, what are they?

I think it may just be the patch of road that i drive to work daily on. It is very bumpy and hilly. When im on the highway I get no such swerving. Alignment is good. Tire pressures are 36/34 front to rear. Car is stock 05 6mt w/ 50k on it.
