2008 M35 BASE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN ROADS THE FRONT END OF THE CAR JUMPS, RATTLES AND SLIPS. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY ON UNEVEN OR FREEWAYS WITH THE GROOVES (CALIFORNIA) AT 55 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. THE STEERING IS SO HARSH THAT THE CAR HAS TO SLOW DOWN OR MOVE TO MORE EVEN ROAD.
