i drive a 92 s13

alright the problem i am noticing is that when i go into a turn fairly hard the car rides smooth then all of a sudden there is a quick jerk then back to riding fine. it seems to only do this on left hand turns. i had just replaced the inner outer tie rods about 7 months ago and replaced the tension rods. its had an alignment but maybe its been knocked out of alignment now. looking for some insight on this issue.....

does it sorta pop when you get to going straight again? ever since i swapped my sportlines for my stock springs, they seem to kinda lock up if i turn all the way in one direction, it'll pull hard in that direction until i hit a bump and i reckon the spring or whatever reseats and the car drives straight again. beats me, i was thinking maybe bushings, or ball joints??

when im backing out of the drive way and turn the wheel sharpe this is a pop sometimes. but the jerk im talking about happens when im driving through a corner at an aggeresive speed.

I would start by checking for worn ball joints, and strut mounts.

H.240 is rite.....look for ball joints..worn bushings....and inspect your bearings man..just do a wjho close inspection..motor mounts..everything under the front...allso..jack the car up and look at your steering rack..see if there is any damage..lots of places to look..keep us posted and good luck.
