Upon driving over certain bumps in the road, the suspension has the sensation that the wheels and/or lug nuts are loose. This produces a disturbing side to side movement that feels like the vehicle lacks control. This condition is related to the fact that rotors wear out prematurely; two sets in 4700 miles. Bad rotors produce a shaking steering wheel when coming to a stop. Even after replacing rotors and the repairs appears to be done, the shaking steering wheel comes back readily after an episode of hitting bumps that produce the side to side movement. The side to side, fishtail, sensation happens on the freeway and surface streets around 40-60 miles an hour. This condition is disturbing and makes it seem that the next well-placed bump on the road would cause the car to lose control.
