Theres a fair chance you damaged the side wall of the tire that hit the pot hole. It would make the car feel as if it was shifting left to right. It may do this intermitenly. Being in a turn would put just the type of presser on the tire to make a bad side wall act up.
Look at the side walls of the tire and see if there is any damage like a tear or bubble. You can also jack up the tire and spin it. You will see the tread shift when you spin it.
If you do fine one like this replace it. Its a blow out whaiting to happen.
Good luck.

If you have to replace the tire, you can get the city to pay for it. Just call up the local transportation office or whoever is in charge the roads and file a complaint. Tell them you want the new tire covered.
It can be done, just dont yell on the phone.
