OK,
I'm going to bring a copy of this thread to my builder/mechanic, because it does get a little over my head. But it is great timing, since we have been talking about this exact problem with my car.

Jim, maybe you can offer some advice.

My car has that "twitchy" feel in it, especially if the road is less than pooltable smooth. We have the caster around 3, about -1/2 camber, and the toe is about dead straight. I have the Flaming River 18:1 rack (which for the record, I am very unhappy with, far too slow steering for autox use).

The problem is worst on a highway with rough pavement. The car can be a handful at times. Part of it is probably the aggressive tire tread I have, but we wonder if there is something more.

Could there be something ever so slightly bent, or is there a fix for the FFR that you can recommend?
