Default 94 civic suspension woes

Ok, first I'm new to this forum and Honda cars for that matter. My sister-n-law owns a 94 civic automatic. I drove it one day and discovered all sorts of problems with it. The one that I need help with is when driving the car it seems to track straight unless you are on an uneven road (the best way I can describe it) like crossing an intersection where the road is raised more or dips in the road. When I drive through these the car immediately wants to pull to the right and then corrects itself. Its the strangest thing I have ever experienced in a vehicle. Otherwise the car tracks straight when you let go of the wheel. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance.

welcome to the forum. It may need a wheel alightment, check the bushings for ware or loose tie rod. jack the front up just off the ground and shake the tire/wheel like going thru the dip, and not more than enough to start the steering wheel to turn and check for loose parts.

First of all, welcome to the forum as I am also new. Your problem can be because of two reason, first it may need wheel alignment and the second is, may be its wheel or rims are bend a little bit
