Steering Feel
Looking for some advise regarding the handling of my car, since owning it I've never been happy with it its always felt out it's hard to explain and I can't get to the bottom of it, it's had different wheels, changed to coilovers and whiteline droplinks and 2 geo set ups from reputable places but it's still not right defo feels steering related but visually there's nothing that stands out, car still feels like it crabs to the right and any bump in the road it want to pull left steering is very light at speed also, could it be bent steering rack from previous owner maybe kerbed it or something ??

Change tyre pressure , adjustment of the standard camber bolts help a lot , some negative camber helps which is adjusted by top bolt on the front shock , I'm just trying to find out how much to adjust it by , my tramlining has gone now

No don't have the print out guy does it old school by taking the car out back in and adjusts various times but he's a reputation as one of the best with about 30 years experience with fast/track cars and he says the alignment and coilovers are spot on, wheels are pff7 with ultrac sessanta at 32 psi and all wheels were checked for buckles when changing tyres but it felt the same with 17's

Did you ever get this sorted? I appear to have the same issue & appears it's due to a broken front drop link. It actually feels dangerous to drive, getting it sorted next week (parked up at the moment as its my 2nd car)

Completely know that feeling - been there on and off over the years.
I've just had some OEM front drop links fitted (£40-ish) and or though this hasn't 100% please the gods - it has made the car feel more " in my control" rather than getting often feeling of vague neutral crabbing. The car is still wallowy at certain points so im looking at replacing the Front control arm bushes to see the out come.
