I think more of just a general suspension, visual check is in order. Do both sides match? IE left-rear, right-rear, left-front, right-rear? Is it possible that the brakes are acting up? I may still be a little confused about the problem... so my advice is a little 'out there' --not to mention I am no suspension expert.

I have the same issue....bad......But I'm thinking since the tires are junk that maybe part of the reason....But mine feels kinda like dead spots and then the car will shift over and cornere.......damnedest thing.......

Inner Tie rod problems maybe?? Look at the 2000 Buick Century recalls and you will find they have issues with unwanted steering input from a loose inner tie rod. I am dealing with that problem now on our 2000 Century.

Have now noticed difference in driveway at full right lock. In revese when start to move steering wheel suddenly turns about 10 degrees more and moves back when go forward. Something is definately moving on the drivers side but every thing seems tight when jacked up.
Maybe you found your problem. "Everything looks fine when jacked up"
Try doing it when the car is on the ground. Get under there.. if not, take a picture of it.

Sounds like it could be a bad tire belt, tie rod, ball joint or steering rack mount.
The upper strut bearing could be bad allso. Try lubing it.
Keep using the process of elimination to narrow it down.
