Default Wheel hoping/skipping

I have noticed on full lock the fornt left wheel seems to skip for some reason, I only really notice when exiting multi stoery car parks, would anybody know the reason for this?

Car is a widetrack blob and dccd is always in auto, could it be a ball joint or something more serious?

Thanks

Best thing to do is jack it up and check. It sounds like it could be a ball joint . Is the steering tight ?As in , does it wander and feel vague?

Try putting the dccd into manual, they don't seem to like full lock on auto.

It feels as though the geometry is out.

I will definitely try that, last time I had the dccd in manual it made banging noises so put it back in auto.

it will make grinding noise when on manual in locked position ( top position ), but it shouldn't sound like that when on manual and open position ( bottom position )
I'll also said that geo is out
