new to 300zx need susp./steering advice pulling left

Picked up a 1988 300zx turbo 5speed car a couple months back. Looking to replace some parts so far I have done the rear shocks. What I have noticed so far is after turning left hard it pulls left till I hit a bump and it will straighten back out. Also hard shifting or launching I got a clunk/bang sound and feeling. Other than that the car drives great. What I am thinking is replacing outer ties, ball joints, and trans mount. Am I missing anything? Looking for input thanks.

You're doing just fine doing those things you mentioned, also check the rear differential mount.
