Question HELP! Z is wobbling when turning right!?

Hey guys, this just started happening yesterday and its really bugging me.

I'm going on 6000 with my 07 Enthusiast, and after a nice honeymoon period, I'm getting quite a scary/annoying problem as of yesterday.

I was on the 210 going to the 605, and while I was making a change to the right lane at around 50-60mph, my car would wobble as if it were correcting itself back to going straight. At first I was obviously scared, but I tried reproducing it, and everytime I made a slight right turn, my car would wobble. Then I tried doing it to the left, and the actual left turn would be stable, but as I'm returning back to straight, in the right direction, the car would again wobble. That may have been a weird explanation but thats the best I can do.

Today I tried reproducing the wobble at around 35-40mph and it would still do the same, anything less than that the car is the same.

Nothing seemed wrong with the wheel or alignment, since it still drove straight and there wasn't any odd noises. I tried turning traction on and off and it would change it.

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? I'm bringing it into Performance tomorrow but any insight would help. Thanks guys.
