Default bumpsteer problem???

hi guys, i have a mustang gt, 2006 with auto transmission. i had a crash a few months back and the car needed some supension parts to be replaced. i have already re-replaced those parts which were springs and shocks with the steeda sport springs and tokico d-specs. i'm pretty happy with the way it handles now, except that when i go over some bumbs at mid-high speeds, the steering wheel pulls to the side. is this normal, or is something wrong with my suspension?? i read somewhere that this may occur because there is a suspension component that is bent. i was just hoping that it is something easily rapairable. on monday i'm getting camber bolts installed and an alignment. do you think if i finish the suspension with adj. lower control arms, lca relocation brackets and an adj. panhard bar, will this correct my problem???

thanks a lot for everything, i know i'm not a regular poster, but i've learned alot from you guys.

I have similar experiences with mine doing the same over bumps. Actually many do, so I assume it is more of less normal, maybe more pronounce with the lowering of the car.

thanks a lot man...lets just hope its curable with the install of lca's and relocation brackets, although i dont know if that would help because those are for the rear, and the problem is up front. anyone else know something about this?

This might solve the problem but I never looked into it as it does not happen often enough to bother me.

thanks a lot man, that would probably help. do you know if it fits without those X2 ball joints? i dont know what those are, but it says that the bumpsteer kit is recommended if you have those. is it an easy to install part like a direct replacement? has anybody installed it?
