Loose steering at >70mph
Steering is tight at local road speeds. However, at autobahn speeds, steering feels loose, not confident at all.
Currently, the car has 107k miles on it, with completely stock and original suspension, cv, ball joints, etc. I am planning on getting the hotchkis tvs1 kit plus struts and end links. But still concerned about the loose steering.
Any thoughts?

Edit: struggling with this concept. I see the toe delete for true coil over setups, but that doesn't fit here. Can you point me in the right direction for a DIY so I might learn more?

np. toe delete bolts is what you need. Its just a shim and bolt kit for one of the upper arms. Ther are several linkages back there.
Also, if you are lowered at all.. thats when the toe gets REALLY scary at speed.
Doing a CAMBER not caster/toe adjustable bar helps w this too..
Replacing front LCA w urenthane and also replacing the fr compression rod bushings w the revised g35 one also makes for an amazingly tight and fantastic feeling car.. well worth the $ while youre under the car.. combined w rear toe correction, fully changes the car.
not sure how much you were looking to spend/take care of.
front CR bushings are 40 bucks, so are the Whitelines LCA bushings.
Labor around prob 200.
Toe delete bolts are around 80 bucks.. reasonable camber arm is 150 bucks...
labor about 200..
Handling improvement is fantastic tho imo.

The whiteline bushings are on order. Is this the correct toe bolt kit... LINK
Or is this the one... LINK
I am pretty sure its the latter, which will work so long as I have rear camber arms. Do I need anything else on the rear to make sure the toe meets factory spec?
