Default EF Steering Problem(?)

Hi Guys,

Recently picked up a EFII Gli. Completely stock with 105,000ks. I think there might be a problem with the rack/front end geometry.

Around town, the steering is great, nice and direct, no chatter and no play. At speeds above say 100km/h, the car is *VERY VERY* twitchy. Way too sensitive. You only need to move the steering wheel about 1cm and it changes lanes. Its bloody awful.

Do they all do this? My old EFII XR6 was brilliant in this regard, but it obviously had a different suspension setup.

Any ideas?

PS: before I bought the car, it had only covered about 500km in the last year. I wonder if some seals in the rack have gone hard.

Car has got 4 brand new tyres (205/65 Bob Janers on Classic alloys) correct pressure. Wheel alignment ws done 2 weeks ago.
