Default Hoping and jerking in u turns

Ok,

So in my other car(78 trans am) I can roll into a u turn gas it and whip around no problem.

I made two u turns yesterday and I have traction control off and the car hoped, dived, and jerked, like it was not gonna have any of what I was doing. Its less pronounced when slowly turning around. HOWEVER anything above 10mph is almost hard to control the car. I doesnt make any noises.

Ideas?

Was thinking alignment, or maybe I need a new steering box...but the car only has 65000 miles.

that could be the case, i couldnt get it to chirp the tires when I made either turn and I was trying. I can do a burn out fine in the car in a straight line.

It has an aftermarket gear set in the rear stock housing I only know that its 3.73 and the car was used on occasion for drag racing.
