steering wheel shakes over bumps

Ive searched a ton on this, but if someone can out search me chime in.



My steering wheel loses control over small bumps, and it is getting worse.

It feels as if its mainly from the passenger side.

Ive jacked up the front end, held my hands at 3 and 9, tried to rock the wheels, nothing moves, Ive put a pry bar on all the control arm bushings, end links and tie rod bushings to see if anything is really noticeably failing and I've come up with nothing.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

check your upper strut mounts for cracking and movement when you turn the steering wheel, also shake your tire at 12 and 6 oclock position that checks for bad ball joints and also a loose hub/bearing... good luck
