If the car is mechanicaly sound, i.e no play in bushes, bearings etc, then the chances are that the geometry needs setting correctly. If you dial in 1mm of toe in at the rear & 1.5-2.0mm toe in on the front then it should make the car nice and neutral.

Having said that of course, if it's slippery & you have a heavy right foot in mid corner, you will always be able to get the back end to step out.
