Hi. I recently bought a 2001 Honda civic ex sedan.
When ever i hit a crack, or bump, or switch lanes on the freeway, my car swerves, and jerks.

I bought the car about a month ago and it did that when a bought it. (really good price though )

Anyways. I believe that the car was in an accident that affected the front driver left (driver) side of the car. Im not sure if its the Suspension(shocks, struts ) or the alignment....But could anybody have a clue on what it could be?

If it helps, the rear suspension is pretty bouncy, im sure all suspension parts are stock.

thanks

Have you checked how worn the tires are? And by swerve what do you mean the back or front or all the car?

I had a blown strut and the car felt like it would dart around after bumps. Changed the blown strut and problem was solved.

Sorry for the late response, but thank you for all the replies.

I actually just posted a new forum going over my problem in detail.
i activated email notification finally so ill know when you guys reply now.

When it swerves it feels as if the rear tires are the ones that get caught on the bump. So i guess the back swerves.
