lift oversteer

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

hit,
    im thinking stripes bushings are just in better shape (other past cars
suspension may have been giving all over the place). hows the alignment? your
camber may be at (neg) 1-2 degrees, which would help you in the turns (but its
hell on treadwear).
