Default feels like im going to run off the road!!

well i just picked a 92 eg hatch, and would like to know how to fix this steering problem. the car pulls hard to the right, sometimes when i hit a bump it wants to run off the road. im having alot of "oversteer", and it seems to happen when im going 55mph and up. everything on the car is bone stock if that helps. i dont want to deal with the shop unless i really have to. any info kinda would help

You outter tie rods are probably bad as well as your inner tie rod. You can test the outter tie rods by jacking up the L or R tire and put your hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock position and wiggle. If it does, there bad.

also get the alignment checked. toe out causes pulling. And check tire conditions and pressures. And its not oversteer, its just pull. Oversteer is when the rear slides out under cornering, wont happen in a straight line.

Yea I'll get that done soon. As for the tire I just got all four replace, the I ones that were on when I bought the car were pretty Much bald, and really bad shape, oh and I blew out a tire on the interstate. That's how bad they were. Lmao, shows you how much I know about cars
