This happens when I take sharp turns, I have a feeling the wheel (the same wheel the direction Im turning) toes in (under the car). I can tell because my wheels are black on the side and theres a delimitation. Whats wrong? Also, my driver's rear wheels looks like that

Sounds werid. I would lift that wheel up and test your wheel bearings and see if you have any bend, cracked or broken componets.

That is kinda funky. If you grab the wheel and try to move it with your hands or for that matter kick it does it move around?

you may need a tie rod... I just had to get one at inspection because the front left wheel could be moved side to side by hand (like phinsup said)

Take the tire off and see whats up. Reach in there and wiggle everything around to see if something is bent, broken, loose etc. Sounds kind of scary to drive.
