Sounds a little like what Katie Kelly described.  The very few times I've felt 
something like that, my only theory was that I was bottoming out the outside
front suspension and bouncing on the bump stop.  I never found anything 
physically wrong with the car or tires.  I wonder if Konis would help.  I 
wish I could afford to find out.  :^(
