BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING, fiddle with the tire pressures. What size are the tires? Try filling the front to 33psi. It couldn't hurt.

They're 195/65 R15's.

Its normally 29 psi on the front isn't it? I thought over inflating usually reduced grip?

Like you say. It can't hurt.....

Hmmm, it weird - today rather than comedy understeer at ridiculously low speeds it was comedy oversteer! Presumably just the effect of dry weather. You don't have to be going quickly to provoke it - hmmm, with that in mind, may be I won't replace the bushes afterall

(Only joking...)

dry weather? Wouldn't you get more oversteer on WET roads?!?

Hmmm 195 tires? That seems rather narrow for a 944...

The tires could affect that.
