Car sway

I noticed when I turn the steering wheel to slightly to the right, the car jerks kinda hard to the right. It doesn't do this when turning turning to the left.

 

I've noticed it at high and slow speeds. Does this sound like a sway bar linkage problem or somehting else?

It sounds like you have potentially a dangerous issue. I would NOT drive the car any further, until you can diagnose the problem properly. As a start, I would jack the front of the car up and check for play in the front wheels.

+1. Sounds like an extreme issue that needs to get fixed ASAP.

Maybe the big lower control arm bushing has fully separated/torn?

 

Easy to check the bushes and swaybar, just turn the wheels outward each side and take a peek. Should be visible with the wheels turned.

+1 fpr raise car up and check for binding unloaded

+1 for lower car and check for biding while loaded

It ended up being the rear wheel bearing. I changed the rears bearings out last December using SKFs from rockauto. I was able to get rockauto to send me a new one under warranty very easily using their website.

 

Thanks guys!
