Hey Tim Rick summed it up pretty well. Have a look at the angle of your lower control arms with the car on a flat surface. They should point down from the cross member to the wheel NOT up!. Commonly when a 1600 is lowered too much the lwr control arms end up pointing up.... remember this is from the cross member end.. How to fix it??? Don't chop ur springs so much!!! Errol sells a very nice bump steer spacer for racing which fits between the strut and the lwr control arm and that would definitely fix the problem but I don't think they are legal for the road???? I have the same problem with mine and its very annoying. You really have to concentrate to keep it in a straight line. Camber and castor changes will help but spring/ride height is what its all about. Maybe some one else out there has some better cures for this problem. 100mm min road clearance Tim?
