Default car wanders

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could tell me why my car wanders all over the road. It is hard for me to keep it going in a straight line anymore. If I hit the slightest road imperfection my car tries to steer on its own.

could be several things unbalanced wheels, broken suspension parts, or it could need an alignment, are the front tires cupped at all or feel abnormal? Also Id check to see if you still have wheel weights on all four tires.

Some brand of tires "tread hop" I believe its what its called, like they want to follow the grooves or whatever in the road and you have to actually keep it straight.
