I hate my stock suspension...sometimes

Hey Guys, so i picked up my 335i a couple of weeks ago. Overall, I LOVE the vehicle. It is my first rear-wheel drive car (coming from GTI mkv), and I have to say, I can't get used to it yet. When I go over bumps (and we all know the roads suck right now), the steering wheel seems to pull to one side or the other as if the tires are gripping in the pot hole.

Also, my suspension makes weird wobble noise in the front of the car, so not sure if that is normal. Not a squeak, just a weird wobble. Any of this normal?

thanks.

Steering kickback over potholes is normal.

It is hard to diagnose suspension sounds over the internet, but I'm guessing it is a front swaybar link. Either one is loose or broken. I've actually needed to replace both of mine on my car which has ~50K miles.
