Default car twists after bumps

I am new to the Lexus world and am loving it! However, when I am cruising on the freeway, my car twists to the right on rebounding from a bump. I just put new tires on it and had them inspect the suspension. They told me everything was like new.

Anyone have any ideas on what this could be?

Thanks, I'm going to look into it today. Maybe a private mechanic can help. If not, off to get raped at the stealer.
