It sounds like you have a bump steer problem from the info you have given. The problem spdbrake said sounds correct. If you have a bump steer problem. As the wheels toe in it forces the body up causing it to toe in more. I would sit the car on the ground at standard ride height. Measure the distance from the centre of the wheel to the mudguard. Write it down you will need it later. Jack up the front of the car and place on chassis stands. Jack up the rear, make the car level and place on stands. Remove the front wheels, disconnect shocks and remove front springs. Reconnect shock. refit front wheel. Place jack under lower control arm and jack up wheel. Jack up until the distance from the centre of the wheel to the mudguard is the same as standard ride height. Now place a piece of wood or angle iron on a crate or drum at the same height as the centre of the wheel. Place a weight on the wood/angle iron to hold it steady. Now measure from the wood/angle to the rim edge and adjust until it is square to the face of the rim. Now jack up control arm until the wheel has moved up 20mm. Now check the measurements from the wood/angle to the rim edges. The difference in the measurements is the bump steer toe in. The difference should be less than 2mm for a road car. Hope you can understand all that and it helps diagnose your problem.
