Default Steering Issues

I've recently noticed squirrely steering more so on the freeway, not loose, but it will give into road ruts more easily any change in the road is felt in the steering; squirrely. its not my alignment and its not loose feeling. Ideas?

my bad just saw the steering section but cant delete

Google "tramlining" or go to Tirerack.com and search on it.

Got wider and stiffer wheels than stock recently? Could be the culprit.

trammeling for sure.. and certain places have very heavily crowned roads too.. and just to be sure..

the more stiff and uncompliant your susension and steerig is, ( the better it handles, but the more you feel the crowning and trammeling effects..

also things to search and read on as well.. plenty of threads..

front compression rod bushings
front LCA lower control arm bushings.

Unbeatable mod to make your car feel as tight as a goose @ss.
Dont ask me to tell the story on that one.
