I noticed strange behaviour with my 98 Max today

I drive a 98 SE , 5 speed, 106K miles, stock, and I love it. I was at a light and I was taking a turn when the light turned green. The road is very wet and is drizzling a bit. When I was just making the turn, I felt for a second that car is tilted more than anyother time and then for half a sec the wheels went out of control and towards the curb. But I was able to get it back in track ( I slowed a bit). I never before felt this or after that. I am bit apprehensive if something is wrong - i wouldnt want this to happen at 80mph. Any body has similar experiences?

our cars do have a lot body roll around corners, maybe you just lost traction or the tired bit, but you should know what that feels like.

its probably torque steer or just some drifting...dont worry this happens to me when its not even raining sometimes. you probably just took the turn too fast. stock suspension maximas arent supposed to handle/corner well. just get a rear swy bar and/or new tires if this keeps happening
