Default Re: steering wheel question

BUT in my case, I'm not driving on the curbside, just an slightly uneven road, which i never experience that in other cars (at least not pulled so seriously). Of course I can hold the steering wheel and keep the car straight, but I can feel a force pulling the wheel to one side. About the same force that we turn our steering wheel to make a turn, but in this case I'm keeping the wheel straight.
Mine does it too, I think its the stiff suspension not compensating for the uneven road when the tires are under pressure from the brakes, not so much the tires just being wide.. because theyre really not that wide.
