Front ball joint?



The behavior your describing sure sounds like it. I run with the predecessor to the trac box all the times, so my VSC light never comes on.
Front ball joint. It was wobbly loose. Damaged in an incident on track, went unnoticed and got worse over time. Started out feeling like severe bump steer. I guess it was changing the toe by many degrees mid-corner.

Side point for the younger players: When your car doesn't feel right, get it checked. Could've ended very badly for me.
