Default dragging front left tire when wheel is cut...

So I just bought a 98z a couple weeks ago. I can tell it's been in a front end collision due to some repainting, but other than that the car seems great.

The one thing I noticed that seemed a little strange is when I cut my wheel to the right at low speed it will squeel the tires, but not to the left. No biggie, or so I thought.

Last night I was backing into a parking space and thought I ran something over, and over, and over.

Upon leaving, I cut the wheel to pull out and it was doing the same thing. sounded/felt like a flat tire. We get out of the car... nothing.

I checked underneath with my flashlight, everything appeared ok.

I went back and forth, and my front left tire is dragging with the wheel cut to the right. It feels like I have a bad posi in the front (yes i KNOW there is no dif, just giving a reference as to how it feels)

I'm going to get under the car tomorrow, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what it could be.

Hopefully something simple like a rack mount or ball joint/etc...

Thanks!

Toby
