Someone suggested that I may have weak springs. I have the apex (not apexi) lowering springs on the tib with kyb gr-2's all the way around. Took a quick peek at it while up on the lift and everything seems to be fine. Except for the passenger ball joint may need replaced. I can move the passenger wheel a wee bit back and forth. The guy at NTB while back said that the ball joint wallowed out its hole in the control arm and that I need to replace all of that. Would any of that effect my right turns, even tho all the weight is put on the left side of the car?

*This problem only started to occur here recently, never noticed it before*

If your ball joint is wallowing out its hole in the control arm, eventually it will tear its way free. While you are driving around a corner, probably at high speed when the stresses are greatest . . . not good. Junkyard run time. You'll be waist-deep in suspension parts and if anything else is messed up, you will hopefully notice it when you are replacing the failed parts.

Maybe the car has always done this and I jus have never noticed it. lol. But I noticed when I have one or more ppl in the car, the problem ceases to exist. hmm, thoughts?

Well I finally figured out the problem and thought I should update. Well I was under the tibby today jus trying to figure out what the hell it could be and I noticed that the bolt where the driver side hub meets up with the ball joint was loose. Like it had bout 7 threads before it even started to torque the two together. So Im guessing that when I was turning right the hub was moving around on the ball joint, like sliding around causing the car to roll. It was actually more of a sag really. But Im jus glad I got it figured out.
