Default Steering Wheel Jerk

I just searched the archived and recent topics on here for "steering pull", "steering jerk", and "wheel jerk".

A little background: Two weekends ago I installed some Skunk2 lowering springs and have yet to get an alignment. In the front (as you all should know) the LCAs were not messed with.

Today on my way to work, while driving straight on smooth roads, my steering wheel and tires pulled to the right for a split second, but went back to normal. After work on my way home the same thing happened a few times. I'm thinking that I need new tie rod ends. I don't have the time or tools to jack the car up at the moment and won't be able to do anything until Monday.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, it's either a shitty CV axle, ball joint/castle nut, or tie rod/castle nut. I'll find out tomorrow morning when my buddy brings me a jack and tools up to my apartment.

Thanks though man.

The culprit was a shitty passenger CV axle.
