I have an MY99 and recently I have noticed understeer on the increase - is this either due to me driving faster or the car loosing its geometry?

As an example, yesterday I almost had a crash when taking a left sweeping bend and the car started to drift into the opposite lane - this left me quite shocked as I wasn't even going that fast :'(

If you think its an increasing problem then you should get the car down to Powerstation and get the geom. checked, bumbstear mod done and if the wallet is deep enough get the anti lift kit, up rated anti roll bars and solid drop links.

Done it on my Terzo (MY98) and it handles like a dream

I started noticing this on my MY98 4dr UK Turbo too, but it was oversteer on right hands bends, went and checked the tyre pressures and the front left was 28psi

You are probably going faster Akshay The way to sort it as was said is to get rid of the bumpsteer. Worth fitting solid anti roll bar links too. You be amazed at the difference and the tyres last a lot longer too.
