I've been wondering what exactly is going on. After reading your first post, I've been thinking is the "swerve" you're talking about is happening AFTER you exit the corner and are driving in a straight line. Is this what it's doing? Folks seem to be diagnosing a different problem if that's what's happening.

Would it be accurate to describe the motion as "darting?" IOW a sharp (but usually pretty small), uncommanded yawing motion. If that's true, it sounds like there is some play in one of the suspension locating links/bushings.. When you exit the corner and remove the lateral load it's "springing" back and making the car dart. Years and years ago, I had first a Chevelle SS and then a (first gen) Mercury Capri that would occasionally do something similar. In both cases is turned out to be worn/damaged control arm bushings. May not be the case here, but it's a place to start.
