Front-end wobble feel during turns

What is the typical cause for a wobble type feeling when making a sweeping turn when accelerating? It has done this for pretty much as long as i owned the car and I can't figure out what it might be. It's not major, but something that just bothers me. It feels like similar to that of a bent wheel or as if the wheel is loose.

During the past 12 months, I've had three different sets of wheels and tires, installed new springs and shocks, and most recently had a front-end alignment and the feeling is still there. When i had the front-end alignment done a few days ago, I had them inspect the front-end but they didn't see anything out of specs. They felt it as well when driving it, but can't say for sure what's causing it. They mentioned that the front motor mount is bad, but couldn't say for sure if it would fix it.

Any thoughts?

all have been checked. The brand new aspec suspension was installed three months ago with no changes in the wobble.

OP's problem sounds like the main symptom of a rear suspension toe setting misalignment.

Yep. Or compliance bushings.

I had the rear aligned as well. Are these the bushings that are known to tear right away? I have inspected them and they might have a small tear, but they don't look too bad.
