Question Handling issues , help!

Hey guys, Ive got a 1998 s70 t5 5spd. The car under normal conditions feels just a touch unstable, not bad. But if you drop from 5th to 3rd like when passing it pulls HARD to the right. Ball joints and tie rods are tight, control arm bushings seem ok, k frame and mounts look good. Any ideas?

I would recheck the control arm bushings with the wheels fully turned each way.

How many miles on the car? Are the suspension parts original? If not, now many miles on the components?
