2002 Max jerks in a right handed turn
I went to the hill country about two weeks ago, I was so excited to finally get my max on some corners on a curvy country road but when i turn the wheel of my maxima at about 12 to 1 ( think of a clock face) in a right turn its fine but when I get passed 1 o clock it feels like the back end wants to swing out and kind of feels like its oversteering...but this never happens when I go through I left corner turn, its smooth and straight all the way through the left turn with no jerk what soever
anyone else have this problem? solution/fix?

A cursory thought process would have me suggest to you to check for worn steering/suspension parts or added friction due to a sticking caliper or hub. When was the last time you had your tierods checked? How about your calipers(specifically the left rear)? Really, we'll need to know a little more background on your car and its repair/maintenance history.

car has new rotors and calipers all around and pads. changed out the endlinks this past fall. everything else is stock, I know my struts are alittle suspect but I wouldnt imagine them to call the jerking issue. But I could be wrong.

Sounds like a blown rear shock. When you load the car in a corner, the weight transfers from side to side on the rear axle and might bounce back on the coilspring...I replaced my suspension with tokico hp and vogtland coils, perfect street handling and feel.

so after further inspecting I have found... (THANKS RUST! UGH!) all four struts are gone, control arm bushings gone, rear trail arm bushings gone, two from calipers are almost seized and front motor mount is shot...I was expecting a few items but not the whole shabam, guess i'll have to do one at a time.
