car slips to left when going over a manhole cover/pothole

HI MY 2006 ford focus kind of slips to the left when the driver side rear tire goes over a pothole or manhole cover that isn't flush to the ground. Its kind of like when a big gust of wind pushes the car...what could the issue be? or am i just imagine it. ive only had the car about a month.

Does the wheels have any play in them?
When parked, grab the tyre and push/pull to see if it feels like it moves.
You might have to get it to a mechanic to lift car up to check better.
