Default possible front bushes worn problem

Hi there,Anyone got any experience with which bushes can cause a very slight steering wobble??

I've got a 2001 wrx and for a while i've occasionally had a very slight steering wobble but not always,when i say wobble i meen very slightly as in you sometimes only feel it if you take your hands off the steering and put a finger on it,i have had the car on a ramp and there doesn't seem to be any play in the steering rack and the bushes seemed ok to me.

At first i thought it could be my rubbish ebc disc's and pads as i've had two set's crack and vibrate over a 12 month period and though it could be a slightly seized piston.After a while i noticed the steering wheel seemed to only wobble when i had just cornered a large roundabout or sharp bend at sliding speed's,then finally after putting a godspeed 335 kit on and having the car on a chassis lift overnight where the wheels just dangle in the air it's confirmed to me it must be some bush coming out of place or something when the suspension arms are dangled as after i got the kit on and drove it it wobbled more than it has ever done,it's stopped now so i know it's not the brakes and i did strip and replace all the piston seals and dust covers and the pistons were totally clean on the inside when popped out.

So does anyone know from experience which bushes can cause this slight wobble?

I'm thinking it may be anti-roll bar bush just slipping out of place when suspension fully stretched,Anyone???
