[bmw] Peculiar steering problem - bad bushings? Bad ball joints? E38 740iL

["Dennis Liu" <BigHeadDennis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[please keep in mind that I have the mechanical aptitude of a stunted
eggplant...]

Car:  1995 740iL, ~113k miles.

Issue:  When entering a fast, left-hand sweeper, and I steer the car left,
the car starts to turn left, then I get a sensation that the front end
"rolls over", and then the steering gets a little vague but the nose tucks
and the car does track left.  The sensation is as if the right front tire is
very low on pressure, and the car is rolling over onto the sidewall.  This
is most notable at speeds above, say, 30 mph.  N.B., no similar sensation
when steering RIGHT.

Any ideas/suggestions as to a diagnosis would be most greatly appreciated
(as would an idea of how long it might take a shop to repair, and/or a
reasonable cost thereof).

Thanks!

vty,

--Dennis
