Car likes to over center when turn left or right makes for hard transitions when drifting will it be as easy as just adjusting bump stops, also not sure how to adjust them or of they are there.
 
Year, model, tire size, suspension changes (if any), wheel width & offset, power steering or not?

I only had this problem when I had no power steering.
 
Most front alignments are looked at with the wheels straight. Turn the steering wheel and see what happens?

Too much ackerman might cause that?

Stock control arms and steering rack location?

With stock 240 geometry (with power steering), you can just set the wheel at full lock and drift. The last few degrees of steering over center, you can kind of notice this when turning really tight (full lock) in a parking lot for example.

Aligning for zero toe (or 0.1-0.5deg in) and camber in the negative numbers reduces this.
