Default very strange steering problem. I need help!

Alright first of all I have a 1991 Integra ls.
When I turn to the right at low speeds like at a stop sign or light, durring the RIGHT turn my steering wheel jerks very hard to the LEFT. I'm not a small man and I struggle to keep the car from jumping into oncoming traffic. I pulled into a large parking lot to test this...I slowed and turned hard to the right and let go of the steering wheel and sure enough the car gets a mind of its own and the wheel turns very hard to the left completely hitting the steering stop.

Somebody please help!

have you hit anything lately to bend a steering arm or the upper a-arm?

I don't think i've hit anything and the tires seem to be in very good shape. I get no vibration when I'm driving at speed. The alignment seems to be fine because i can let go of the steering wheel on the highway and it will drive just as straight as an arrow.

It only happens at very low speeds like 5-15 mph. I checked the power steering fluid it was a little low but when I topped it off it didn't make any difference.

I had the same problem with my EG a long time ago. I dont know why the hell it was doing it....but it was axle related. It would happen way more when it rained hard...and my axles would stop clicking for the 20 mins that this would happen. 20 mins later, it would stop happening and the axles would click again. So i blew the motor up and got a B series, and created this rad user name.
