pulling to left after right turn

hey guys, I have an 06 sti with stock suspension. Today, I took a right turn pretty hard and once I straightened the car out, the steering wheel was turned to the left and the car was pulling to the left as well. I pulled off the road and everything seemed normal. I put it in reverse, and my problem magically went away. I repeated this several times just to make sure my threory was right, and indeed it works every time but the problem is that if i turn hard right, the car pulls left after!!! Now that is a pian! Do you guys have any ideas as to what may be going on? thanks!

Stock Suspension or Aftermarket setup?? Right now, my only idea would be alignment.

Don't know if you've figured anything out yet, but have you changed the steering rack bushings? My wrx used to do that, and I changed the bushings out. Now it doesn't keep my steering wheel turned after a hard turn and steering is a little more responsive.
