Steering problems

When I turn hard right, the left wheel seems to "overturn" to the right. When I go back straight the car tracks just fine. No problems on left turns.

I'd like to narrow down the potential fix before I start replacing things in the front end. Where should I start?

Thanks.

What indication do you have that the one wheel is overturning?

When was the last alignment?

Check the suspension bushings and the tie rod ends.

Thanks Kep. This has been resolved. I think it was a loose ball joint.
