Default car jumps when i turn the wheel all the way!!!!!

So my civic (eg) jumps a little when i turn the wheel all the way, i've recently bought new tires and the pressure is fine. could it be the suspension (which i really doubt), the LCAs, the axles?

Check your ball joints.

Does the car pull a little to one side when you initially hit the brakes?

it doesn't pull, it just does slight jumps and the tires slip a little.

16x7 205/45/16, feels like it pulls back a little,no strange noises, tokico shocks (stock springs), not lowered, EG6. I bought the car like this, but didn't notice it when i bought it. could it mean that it needs balancing or alignment?

stock height, right size tires, only when turning hard, tire slip.

^symptoms indicate bad ball joint on your axle(s). what engine is in the car?

have you had the axles replaced at all?

it would not be a balancing issue in any respect. alignment might have something to do with it but not the ultimate cause due to the abundance of symptoms. get your ball joints looked at or do it yourself. if in need of axles just browse around and find someone who has some and is selling them.
