Re: 98 buick regal GS supercharger. PROBLEM!!! HELP! PLEASE
Welcome to AF.
You need to get it scanned for any ABS/traction control system DTCs which will require an ABS capable scan tool preferably a GM Tech 2. It could be a bad wheel sensor within any of the 4 hubs, wiring or the EBTCM module. The reason why the steering acts up is the EBTCM module controls the Magnasteer variable effort steering. EBCTM = Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module. Also, be sure to check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder.

Re: 98 buick regal GS supercharger. PROBLEM!!! HELP! PLEASE
There are two parts to the Magnasteer system. The actuator at the rack and pinion and the EBCTM. Not a common problem. Can you post the diagnostic trouble code? With a GM Tech 2 it should be a C1XXX code.

Re: 98 buick regal GS supercharger. PROBLEM!!! HELP! PLEASE
looks like I have a similar problem just noticed today..., the ABS light traction control light and service vehicle soon light sometimes come on.
seems to happen while I am turning fairly quickly with my foot lightly on the brake. doesn't happen while driving or stopping in a straight line. soon as I straighten myself out, all lights go off. Will probably go get it checked this weekend

Check the electrical connectors at each hub (all 4 wheels) and the wiring harness. Also, how many miles do you have?
