i wish i knew what you meant by being tossed in the wind. reminds me of an 80s song. (cue rope).
anyway, when you go over small little "bumps", does your car seem to hit them super hard? i'm thinking that your struts/shocks are on their way out, and that's accounting for large amounts of body roll. assuming they're really screwed up, your car might seem like it has hydraulics (underdamping is the scientific term, i believe). large amounts of unpredicted suspension travel would cause bump steer (when the control arm and tie rod move in different arcs) and bump steer would seemingly tug on the wheel, add some bind into the equation and who knows how it would all come together.

All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Tossed in the wind, all they are is tossed in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Tossed in the wind, All we are is tossed in the wind
Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy
Tossed in the wind, All we are is tossed in the wind"
