my saph is a little bit unsteady on the road wen i go over 85 ish and above , wen i would hit a bump it would just unsteady it a tad bit - like the steering is very light on it , i have ahmed springs and konis , poly tca arms and all the rear is poly bushed , the same road i can take my astra gsi out on it at keep it planted at 110 or more no bother good and steady , anyone have any suggestions as to why the car gets this way with speed - wheel bearings and track rod ends ar all perfect from wat i can see

no its perfect inside the car its just that the steering is very light in it at speed compared to other cars i drive , , dont know what it is its like im hanging on to the steering wheel and watching the road just to keep it straight , its not all over the place but it just slightly chaanges very easily , compares to other cars i drive on this road where i could safely have 1 hand on the wheel at the same speed , the car just dosent feel planted enough at the front, id just like to have it more solid

try chaning the top mount bearings and bush's on the front

Try adjusting the tyre pressure either way a few psi, do you have a poly diff mount ?, if not get one asap.

do you still have the rose joints on the rear arms or have these been replaced with poly too? as the polys in place of the rose joints on the rear can cause the front to wander believe it or not as it upsets the rear geometry and effectivley makes the car crab

Try fitting a 22mm rear ARB, this will massively, and I mean massively improve stability, I can do,(on a private road of course)150 round long sweeping bends doesn't break a sweat at all, unlike before I wouldn't barely have gone over 100-110 on the private road, it really is like night and day the difference.
