Why does my car jerk to the right when I hit a bump on the right side?


Recently changed my rotors on a 93 honda accord which requires removing the entire steering knuckle. Replaced the bearings as well and changed the outer tie rods for the second time in less than a year because they wouldn't screw back on. It has NOT been aligned again since. I don't suspect alignment because it doesn't pull when driving on smooth roads. It only jerks to the right when I hit a bump or pot hole with the right front tire. Stabilizer links in good shape. All suspension less than a year old except the inner tie rods. I suspected faulty outer tie rods but I dont experience much play when I jack it up and try to turn the tire manually. The car is not lowered or raised. It has gotten worse and I'm afraid to drive fast or let my wife drive at all. I'm taking it to my father in-law's work for him to check it out Monday. Not sure if I should even wait that long. Any ideas?
