Default Sapphire Cornering Question

I got a 4x4 Sapp RS, and have noticed that when I go round a left hand bend giving it a bit, it feels that I got a puncture.
This only happens when the car is leaning, on a left hand bend, I have check the wheels for any play in the wheel bearings but they seem ok.
I am running standard shocks and chas/dynamic lowering springs.
Any clues on what might be the problem.
Thanks......

Might be worth checking/changing the bushes on the car

I don't think that its a known problem, its just that the cars are getting older,
