If you hit a bump, it may just be the wheel alignment that is slightly out.
Why not take it to one of the tyre places like Kwik-fit? They can put your car on the ramp and look for any obvious problems and even check the wheel alignment, without charging you silly money for the service.

cheers for that but the diagnostics says that it is an engine ecu fault and the traction control and abs are turned off i have tried them both, quite fun i might add but not very safe any other suggestions
