Snap turning left
My car has a marked snap turning left only. Any ideas of what to check for? The only suspension upgrades I have over stock are RB springs and Tokico Blues. I know the bushings are pretty worn I was going to try replacing them all, but before I spent all my time and money on that I wanted to check if anyone else had an idea of what it could be. Also when I turn hard to the left at low speeds (like parking or turning into a driveway) I'll hear this clicking noise, but only if the wheel is all the way to the left. Thanks.
Could be bad ball joints. Check your tire pressures, and make sure all tires are the same type and size (obviously). Check the alignement too. Other than that, bushings bushings bushings....
Tire pressure is good, just got alignment last month after I put in shocks/springs. I'll check out the the ball joints.
The snap is like when I turn the wheel to the left it reaches a point where the turning is more drastic than it should be. It's like normal turning ... normal turning ... woah I'm in the other lane what the.. Yeah, so not sure if that clears it up, that might not be the greatest description but it just reaches a point and then has a weird snap.
But thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it.

Yeah that is exactly the one. It puzzled me for months. It really used to get interesting when it would do that at 100 mph. The car would almost literally jumped to the next lane after a certain amount of turning. Nothing to do with tire pressure, ball joints or anything of the sort. Another forum member, 1984se, helped me correct that in my car by adjusting camber and caster. But he used a different method than the one used at alignment places, and whereas those places failed in adjusting it so it wouldn't do it, he succeeded. I would pm 1984se for advice on how to correct it.
