Weird feeling in steering when turn wheel all the way left

Hello all,

I have been having a weird experience when i turn my wheel all the way to the left or right. When I am making a U-turn, or even pulling out of my driveway and turning left or right, my front wheels feel like they have hit gravel or lost contact with the ground. It's pretty disconcerting especially since I really love the car and want to keep it. My tires have good tread, and there is no clicking when I turn all the way one way or the other. It's this uneasy feeling the car gets when I turn to far and I feel like the car is unstable. Any ideas?
The car has started to get a "rolling" feeling when I go over bumps, so maybe struts or suspension?

thanks for the help.

Hey Eastoftheleast2013, is your TL's suspension lowered ? How many miles ?
Is the problem only during low speed maneuvers such as parking or turning at an intersection ?

The best thing to do would be have the car's suspension and steering checked out on an alignment rack.
It's hard to say what it may be. How are the tire edges wearing ?

Have the wheel bearings, tie rod ends, ball joints and steering rack checked out for play.
Hmmm....rollin' over the bumps ? Probably time for new struts.
