When steering at higher speeds and going around curves to the right my car jerks righ
I have replaced the following: struts, springs, sway bar, sway bar endlinks, a left CV axle, both outer tie rod ends, left wheel bearing Assembly. Ive had 2 alignments after all of that. My 05 Monte SS has 105,000 miles on it and I'm ready to take it to a demolition derby. I don't understand why my car is jumping to the right while driving at speeds around 55 mph especially while turning to the right

I don't believe I've heard of this symptom on the W-Body (the Monte), but I have heard of something sorta similar AND felt it in the N-body (the Grand Ams).
The symptom I know from the N-bodies is when you go over a bump, the rear of the car will feel like it "hops" the the left or right.
The cause, bent rear lateral arm(s) (commonly caused by someone incorrectly jacking the car up on them).
Best I can say, inspect all suspension parts for anything that appears to be bent. Check the bushings for the control arms connecting to the sub frame for damage.
It could be something that ridiculous.
