Bumpsteer ?

I was driving my /70 Standard back from the shop yesterday and the car hit a dip in the road while turning right. It was not a real turn but a curve in the road, so I wasn't really slowing down.

As the car hit the dip, it 'jumped' to the left (steering wheel jerked to the left).
Is this what they call bumpsteer ?

The car isn't extremely lowered, I run an adjustable beam and lowered spindles with Koni adjustable shocks and 16" rims with spacers.

If this *is* bumpsteer, I'm pretty much screwed, right ? Isn't the only way to avoid this making sure the tierods are level ?

Thanks,

Rob.
