The client base is dealerships and high end luxury/sports cars but they have a few drift cars as well as autocross racers that frequent the shop.

You are decribing steering from the rear which is really unsettling to ay driver - is usually caused by toe-out at rear, but could be loose suspension as well.

If the traction link has a bush that is flogged out, that may provide enought movement to give you some dynamic toe-out at the rear and that will always give a driver a does of the squirts ...

Put the car up in the air (axle stands or hoist) and go over it closely with the Mark I Eyeball and a proper spanner (wrench) check - that answer is in the car somewhere.

This reminds me...a while back the rear diiferential mount appeared to have been leaking but when the dealer cleaned up the fluid I never noticed a leak after that. Could this be the issue??
