the aftermath of a sharp turn......

why is it that everytime i carve a corner of do a donut my whole front end becomes really stiff and sounds like its gonna fall apart soon afterwards. its like something in the front breaks for a few moments, but after a few moments everything is all good again. has anyone else experienced anything like this? is there anything i can do about it? thanks-

Sounds like you need to look at your front end and check the condition of your steering and suspension parts.

Suspension and steering components most likely... sounds like your springs are bottoming out. Have you extensively looked at the underside of your car? I would check for rusty stuff just to make sure you're not driving a death trap around.

last time i checked i didnt see any rusty stuff down there, but i noticed a lot of grease on my (sway bar?). im a total rookie when it comes to suspension. im probably gonna go out and buy some kyb gas-a-just shocks and struts, then maybe some lowering springs. my front end alignment is a little off, the tires are rubbing on the outside brim of the tire. all of this is making for a not so fun time of driving.
