Vibrations while Cornering
OK so I am getting harsh vibrations while going around right hand corners (or load is placed over the front driver side wheel). The only way to describe this vibrations is to compare it to driving over cobble stones. I can feel the vibrations through the steering wheel as well.
However when the vehicle is driving in a strait line or going through left hand corners the car is fine. It almost feels like the suspension compresses a little bit, it locks up then starts vibrating. What could cause this? I am trying to solve this myself. So far I have....

-Checked the lower ball joint it moves freely checked it for play it's solid.

-Checked the tie rod it's moves freely and there is no play

-Replaced drive axle, vibrations still occur

-Replaced Hub, Vibrations still occur

- Jacked up car shook the wheel up, down,left ,right checking for excessive play there is none.

- Removed Abs ring from both front axles, vibrations still
there.

- Vibration is not engine speed related, I push in the clutch and take a right hand corner, car still vibrates. The faster I take corners the harsher the vibrations.

- Performed 4 wheel alignment.

- Removed the strut , compressed it downward, it was stiff, and it returned to it's normal position at normal speed.

I am using a progress front sway bar and have Kyb gr2 shocks/tien springs installed no other mods to suspension done.

I know these are STUPID questions im goin to ask but did you tighten down your lug nuts good and does that tire look good? Is there any bubbles or wears in the tire? How is your alignment?
Because if everything is new like you say and you checked for loose things thats the only thing I can think of. Or your axle isnt balanced but you would feel that even when driving a straight line.

No idea is foolish my man, honestly I am at that breaking point right now where I'm just clue less and willing to try anything. The lug nuts are tight yes, I doubt it is the axle because I switched it and the same thing is happening. The alignment I have been holding off on that because I was waiting to throw some new coilovers on , but I may just do it for shits and giggle just to see if it resolves the problem. There is this looseness in the steering rack that puzzles me though I am not sure if it's normal but with the steering wheel locked I can still move the rim a 1/4 inch left and right with the vehicle jacked up. That is my last resort...then I'm officially clueless....I am even starting to wonder if it's the LSD acting up ...

Yea go get an alignment because it was doing that to me when i installed a new rack. If still does that then I dont know man lol. It could be the lsd if its broken or somthin is loose. Keep on this because I really wanna know what is wrong too cause that sounds crazy.

I am really hoping it's not the lsd though, really hoping. A new car is looking real good right now though.

The car has B14 sel rims on it right now with 195-60-R15 tires and there is about 1/2 inch of wheel gap in the front and back I am going to guess that it was dropped about 1 1/2" front and back.

I am going to check that my next day off, it is making a clunking noise on that side sometimes on some bumps not all.
