2012 86 Steering abnormality
 

Hi guys, ive owned my 86 for about 5 years now and for the last few months its been driving in a very unusual mannor.

When i make a right hand turn at speed, once the car loads up into the corner, i hold the steering wheel steady but car rotates more agressively. As if i had addded steering angle. I can feel something sort of pop over into this differnt position.
When i straigten out the wheel is down to the left about 1/8th of a turn.
After some distance or any movement to the left the steering "pops" back into place and the wheel is straight ahead again

Going around a left turn has no issues what so ever

Its got new coil overs, new steering rack, new rear subframe bushings. The alignment and tyres are good (i work in a shop with all the alignment gear)
Running 18x9.5 +38 with 235/40/18 pilot sport 4

None of the bushings are torn/damaged and i cannot get any excess play out of anything. Myself and 2 other mechanics have spent well over 10 hours under this thing and cant figure it out.

Might be something dumb or something unusual so i figured id make a forum post and see what the collective wisdom of the community gets me.

Thanks guys

Very possibly a front ball joint. Check again. I had almost the exact same symptoms. Turned out to be a lower ball joint.

Lower ball joint on the front hubs?

I'd put money on it. Maybe even the bush where the arm bolts onto the chassis (not sure of the technical term).
