I'd be inclined to get a decent mechanic to check the front suspension, including track rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearings and bushes too;)

Ok i understand that understeering means when the front tyres lose traction with the road before the rear does.But the car corners great...i mean it understeers at the very exit of the curve and at all time i have my foot to the floor on the gas pedal.Is this normal?What's your experience?:wave:

Something loose maybe, suspension bottom bolts or maybe a bearing has gone?

Every time i go into a sharp curve faster than normal,say 45ish mph there is a point of turning wich makes my steering wheel shake(vibrate) up and down in my hands.Now the car corners good but im woried,i don't know if something is fcuked?I don't know if i'm making any sense but this is my theory..Maybe i'm turnig the steering wheel too much and the car inertia pulls forward so it makes the tyres jump up and down so it's effecting the steering wheel and the whole suspension?I have -35mm springs and gas shocks with 195/50 tyres if that helps.:o
Thanks.
