Weird steering

When driving my 1970 911 T at above 60mph I feel like I’m driving into a side wind and I’m constantly having to correct the steering, anyone have any idea what this might be or is it just me
Thanks Brian

a side wind continuously from the same direction? car pulls to one side? or gusty side wind where you are always making left-right corrections?

Have you taken it to an alignment shop that works on higher end cars yet? Sounds like toe is off

Toe, but likely in the rear to really get that aimless feel. Also consider the age of your bushings front and rear. No alignment will help much with non-concentric bushings.

My own car went from two hands necessary on the wheel at 60mph to one hand at 100mph after bushings and alignment. No spoilers either.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
