Default Bumpsteer Kit?

How do I know if I need an anti-bumpsteer kit? My car has been pulling to either side alot lately when i shift gears and I've never felt that with any of my other cars so I don't know what to look for. Any help would be great, thanks.

check tire pressure first, for sure.

does it happen when you accelerate?

During the actual gear shifting?

Be as descriptive as possible....

Short answer no! Do the check tires thing along with a suspension check and get a good alignment (US/Euro). Bump kits are for dropped cars to realign (level) suspension parts.

This car is extremely sensitive to tire pressure changes. Makes you wonder why we don't all have TPMS. Personally, I have been keeping mine at 34psi all around and it seems to work the best.
