Does it do it on both tires?
Are you hitting the bumps with the tire that jerks? or are both tires hitting the bump?

When did it start and did you have any front end work done during this time?

Sounds like bumpsteer. Your tie rods could be worn out. I had real bad bumpsteer and had to get some adjustable tie rods from Baer. They were kind of a pain to get adjusted right....took 5 shops to finally find one to do it.

it does it with both tires. the rear doesn't handel well either. i know the car it not a porse but what does your cars handel like in rough terrain?
