Steering issue
 
Alright ladies and gents, I need some opinions from you all on an issue.

Here's the issue.

When I make a hard, high G corner to the right and then come out onto a straight my steering wheel is about 15-20 degrees off center to the right, and I can literally make a quick yank of the wheel to the left to recenter it while accelerating down the straight. This somehow does not upset the car or cause it to lurch to the left at all. Sketchy I know.

This issue started at a VIR track day after I loosened and maxed out the camber adjustment in my lower strut mounting brackets. I am stumped as to what would cause this issue.

I had a rear wheel bearing going out and one of my Koni struts up front was blown so I replaced both of these things, but the car is still behaving like this.

Any ideas?

Car is an S13 with GKtech drop spindles front/rear, full GKtech arms set, and Koni 8611 struts.

Rack and pinion bushings are shot...replace them, alignment perfection!

Buy solid rack bushings and you'll never have to worry about it again
