Car jumps a bit while Driving

Hi

I own a 2001 altima. The car was running smoothly but on an unfortunate day on a freeway I was on 70+ mph speed (IN has 70 limit ) and the car in front of me lost the control somehow. Because of that I lost a lil control and had to apply immediate brakes.

After that incident it seems that right side of my car jumps a bit and you can feel that on the wheel too. Initially I thought that the front right tire would have got some problem and so did tire rotation but no use.

I showed to couple of mechanics. They mentioned that there is some problem but could not say firmly what's wrong. They did vehicle inspection and came up with a list of other problems though. They

- Right in tire rod needs replacement (but the problem seems to come from right side)
- Need alignment. (I knew it before this incident)
- front brakes are only 80%

If anyone knows what could have gone wrong or what else should I check.
