Hey guys, ok I've had this problem for a while now and I cant seem to figure it out. Whenever I take a right corner going anything over about 30mph the entire car jerks to the right. It seems to be coming from the drivers side front tire. I rotated the tires thinking it may be a bent rim causing this however it is still doing it. Only on right corners though. Also I had les schwab do a full suspension inspection and they said there wasnt a single thing wrong with it. Could it be alignment? Only thing is if it was alignment I would think it would do it on both left and right corners but it doesnt. Only does it on right corners. So I'm wondering if maybe it was curbed or something and both left side rims are bent as it seemed to improve a little or if it would be alignment? Suggestions?

I had this problem big time or should I say a problem that sorta sounds like your problem.

This is what would happen to me... @ about 30+ MPH I would turn to the right... all of a sudden the car would over rotate to the right and then recover... No tire noise or anything...

This first happened to me entering my favorite on ramp one night doing about 50... I almost lost the beastie... I was like what the hell was that???? as my heart rate returned to normal...

Well the next morning I looked the car over again to see if I could see what the issue was... I did not see a thing wrong with it... Jacked it up and every thing.

So I drove the car again and the same thing... So I parked the car and looked again... As I was doing my walk around kicking the rear tires... to my shock.. The whole tire turned inward...

I could rotate the tire in and out by hand with weight on the wheels... this was also the case on the other side.

It turned out that my toe adjustment screws and come loose... It seems that the boys at the Alignment shop that I will never goto again did not tighten things to spec... The bastards!

So I had a 4 wheel steering condition.. My car was now a $ wheel steering Preludebishi
Not a good thing...

If my story sounds like what’s going with your car check the rear wheels by grabbing them to see if you can turn then In and out.

IF so have them check your toe adj screws.

I have that too, but on left turns, and not real sharp ones, not real wide, but somewhere in the middle. I'll have to check that too, but if you find another reason let me know.
