Car Skips while turning left

So this is not easy to explain, but from a complete stop in my 99 Pontiac Grand Prix, if I hit the gas too hard while turning left the car basically skips, and kind of makes a very loud rumble sound, also kind of feels like Im running over a couple cinder blocks when this happens and the car kinda stopes like it gets stuck real quick n jumps a little. I can feel and hear all of this is my seat and the steering wheel and the body rattles, and it even happened so bad today that I heard the front left tire squeak kind of like the tire is being locked in place while turning left. Or maybe its the right side Im not sure, but it makes me really nervous when this happens, almost feels as if the tire or something is about to break right off. Someone said it could be my tire catching on the wheel well of something but I see no wear marks. If anyone possiby has any advice that would be great. I know I have a bad front left and rear strut shock assembly. Also I have a bad bushing, cracked in half, on the front driver side strut or tire rod or boot or w.e the guy said, some bushing lol. PLEASE HELP BEFORE I DIE! Lol

Well I dont know much about cars so I doubt I would know what Im looking for, I do know it cant be motor "rock" as it doesnt happen when going straight from a stop. Alot of people are telling me to get the CV checked.

it ld be that but if a mount is broken it will make you think it's a cv joint as well. as the motor and trans will move to much as they all move somewhat when mounts are ok.
