This may sound unintelligent, but check your front U joints, or tie rod ends.

when the front U-joint freezes up it can really through you around. seriously! I've had them where i couldn't turn the tire by hand left or right even with the steering bars disconnected.

Is there any rattling noises? Thinking of a broken flexplate.
