Weird jumping/shaking when turning

Hey guys I have a 2005 RX8. I've noticed something that I didn't think was a big deal at first but kinda has me worried. Whenever I'm not moving and I'm about to turn either left or right, when I first start to move the car kinda shakes a weird way like almost the tires have trouble gripping the ground but I'm barely moving. It only happens at zero/slow speed and when it is turning at the same time. Any ideas?

is there a clicking noise?
how is the feel on the steering wheel?

maybe you've got a broken endlink or an issue with the sway bars?

I assume this is coming from the rear of the car? If it is I would replace your differential fluid (check it for metal) and if it persists, more than likely you need a new Diff. The drain plug is magnetic. See whats on it.

It kind of feels like it is coming from the front but it is hard to tell. Is that in the manual how to check that? I suck with things like this.
