dont try to make turns you cant...freeways have other exits, and city streets have other side streets you can turn off on...

I agree.. E-braking to try and make a turn you cant make normally is NOT the answer.. its probabally one of the stupidest things you could do... If your entry speed is to high for "grip" entry.. its certainly too high for "drift" entry

To answer your question.... Check to see if you steering rack is loose in the mounts. Might try having someone turn the wheel while you keep an eye on things. Obviously keep an eye out for anything else that might be loose. Maybe the shaft that goes from the steering wheel to rack?
