That's when  hitting a bump with one wheel causes the car to turn, even
though you've kept a firm grasp on the steering wheel (and kept it from
turning).

No idea how bad or good it is on a GT6, but usually it's not the worst
problem with a stock suspension; nor usually is it easy to change.  And even
if you completely eliminate the change in steering angle (which is pretty
much impossible), you'll still get some direction change for most bumps, as
the tire deflects.

IOW, not worth worrying about on the street, IMO; unless you've made other
changes that aggravated the problem (like lowering the suspension or
relocating the steering).
