New bushes might help but massive change with Whiteline Drop Links, ARB and strut braces.

Anti Lift Kit on next but has made a serious change to the feel of my MY99 Wagon. Now pick a line and stick to it, none of this adjusting the steering mid corner

cheers mate, i have thought about bushes as i have put ARBs back and front with powerflex drops at the rear and whiteline at the front and it made a huge diff to cornering,next is EIBACH springs.

Oh, yeah - them too - have the springs and shocks from the Prodrive handling pack so that probably has something to do with it but did make a difference when it was all done at once a few months back.

Probably stupidly obvious - but tyre presure may be too high? Mines was a bit light after I got new tyres and thought what a waste of 300 quid, then checked the presure and they were at 35+ each...

OK, other than the ALK, not sure how most the rest of the changes will improve the overlight steering weight/feel TBH! (grip yes, weight/feel no!)

Not tried it yes, but uprated rack bushes are meant to help a lot.
