strange lumpyness when turning tight

[NISMOPOWERED]

I have a lower 96 C36 Eibach and #1 pads.
When I turn tight I get a strange bumping type feeling from the front end. I have a little play in the wheel but not more than an inch. I have new ball joints, and linkage. Bearings are ok and alingment just checked.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

kinda the feeling of the car hopping and sliding while making a tight turn?

Did you check the front lower control arm bushing.

This is notorious to go bad on W202..

YES!!

and it does have new bushings, knew I forgot something!

[SLAMMED_C]

my car does that too.. I think it just depends on the surface your on.. I think its pretty normal on lowered w202's...

Im thing it might be in the design.

yeah it only happened at full lock turn.

Its definitely has something to do with the suspension geometry.
But from driving a lot of cars, W202 have pretty small turning radius. That could be the cause of this bumpy feeling (almost like tramlining :) ) If you don't full-lock turn you won't be getting this.

any way to get better turning radius?

i just realized that not only my problem. lol
is there anything wrong with it?
or is it normal?

It's normal for me too, so I'm assuming it happens
