Default suspension/steering problem?

I'll try to describe this as best I can. When I am in the middle of a turn, I feel "bumps" through my steering wheel in my '96 A4. It gives the steering wheel a loose feeling for a fraction of a second compared to the firm feel I am used to. This only happens on sharper turns I am taking at low speed, and especially at this one turn going uphill near my house. Perhaps the lessened weight on the front wheels going uphill has something to so with it...But I really have no clue when it comes to suspension issues. Any help is appreciated.

Check tie-rods and check the steering rack bolts they may need to be re=torqued
