Default Steering Issue?

I have a 96 Sport that when turning left, feels like it is going to wash out. It almost feels like the right tire turns too far. I have to be very careful turning left in rain. The problem doesn't exist when turning right. I replaced the track bar, which fixed the wobble issue I had, but the crazy steering is still there! I have new leaf packs and coils I want to install, but want to fix the problems before I do anything else. Also, I put the front end in jackstands and couldn't feel any horizontal or vertical play with the front wheels, but I didn't have anyone to scope out what was moving, etc.
