Default Front End Shift?

I have an issue while making sharp turns.

It feels like the front end is shifting or sliding.

The car is lowered, Koni shocks, C6 Z51 bars, with Ace Slick 18" & 19" wheels.

Any help would be appreciated.

WOW many things to look at with that small amount of info. Things to look at is the wheel bearings and a arm bushings. Look at the front tires real good for scuffing, if they are scuffing look at all the bushing first, not only at the front look at the rear also. Hope you change the sway bar bushing too. You may have looked at all this already but these are the things I would look at, not saying the bars you installed aren't good but they may not be good for your ride.

Thanks Smiley.

Bushings are a little soft. But the left rear wheel bearing is loose.
