i know exactly what you mean.
at the moment i have yet to drive it fast so i dont know how it will bee.
but slow driving it is superb.
alot of escorts suffer from unstability and it feels like the power steering causing it but it smore to do with setup.
my mk6 escort drives 100% coz the mk6 had more caster to eliminate tramlining.

it was a major job.
took me months and cast alot.
i used a nissan bluebird rack and coupling for the bottom of the steering colum.
i had to modify the bulkhead to fit the rack.
then i had to get custom made steering colum.
then custom made adjustable track rods.
custom made pipes.
but the only easy thing was using the complete mk5 power seering pump and bracketry assembly which you couldnt do unless you had a zetec.
major pain in arse.
id spend some time looking around scrap yards for a p/s rack that will be more of a direct fit rather than the nissan rack
