Steering snap
Son has had my car for a month and just got it back. He said about 2 weeks ago it started clicking in left turns from a stop.
I drove it yesterday and made a right from a stop with a little acceleration and the steering wheel snapped backed out of my hands. It doesn't click or anything on turns less than about 60 degrees and with speed above about 10 mph. But from a standstill with any kind of acceleration and it fights you. Son said it only did it on left turns, but my drama was during a quick right.
All CVs are new, two new half axles 6 months ago, upper ball joins and control arms are new (1 month ago). Wheel bearing on driver's side is new ( 4 months ago). Tie rod end on passenger side needs replaced (on today's to-do list).
Is it the tie rod end? Any other ideas if that's not it? Some guy at work said it might be front sway/stabilizer bushing and links. Just want some insight, thanks.

You need to inspect the components of the steering of course, while you at it, check the power steering's reservoir.
There's no telling just how important it is to have these things checked, the suspension can react dangerously if something happens while making a turn on higher speeds.
