Default Steering help...

So today i was turning a corner at about 20 mph to my right...when all of a sudden it felt like my left spring turned into cotton candy. The front left corner dipped down a few inches and even though i was probably at 45 degrees on my steering to my right...my rig started rolling straight.....then a few seconds later it started turning again.

The only thing have done to my steering/suspension is installed a 2.5" AEV Dual Sport over a year ago. This started happening over the last few weeks, but this was the worst of it.

In the past week or so, sometimes when driving straight, my jeep would just start pulling left or right for a second then fix itself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like u have something loose in the front end. Have a friend move the steering wheel back and forth while u examine the front.

Does it feel like one of the brakes is going on? Could be the TCS kicking in

I was applying my brakes as i was coming to the turn when it pulled away from the direction i was turning. The key is that it doesnt happen often, i would actually say it happens rarely.
