My trusty car has a problem. The car:

1997 Acura Integra GSR 4-door
Front Wheel drive
Manual Transmission
155,000 miles

The car occasionally lurches to one side as if I am being buffeted by a strong wind. This happens at speeds of 70MPH +.

When? When I am on a rough surface ESPECIALLY on grooved pavement - turning or going straight.

Tires are fairly new with good tread and properly inflated.

Also, when I take banked turns on the highway at speeds between 70 and 90MPH, the car feels like it is sort rolling... tilting too much and getting pressed down as if by a strong wind (or the hand of God).

The wheels are slightly out of alignment and the car pulls a little to the right, but that should not be causing this.

Any ideas? I don't know what to investigate.
