(steering problem) Autox tmw need help
ok well I decided to take my car for a hard drive before I autox it tmw. In longer sweepers when I am turning left its doing this thing where it makes a pop and cuts in a little harder then when I straighten out it pops again. I can feel somehting give, but after inspecting the cars suspension notice nothing. Please help

I'm not sure I can help, but how old are your steering components (tie rods, pitman and idler arm)? Do you have power steering?

How old are your ball joints? If one of those are moving around enough to feel it (which they can do) then you'd better address it quickly...
