road tyres will help, but they weren't built for speed ( or comfort )

The wander could be wear in the steering - there's a lot to wear!

also check spring and chassis bushes. they can sometimes try to steer with the rear axle creating a 'wandering' feeling.

swivel pins, relay, track rod ends, shock absorbers, spring bushes, U bolts, wheel bearings, tyre pressures, crossplies or radials or mixed ? sloppy steering box ?

just a few things to check and eliminate :lol:

I think mine has many of these issues and it makes for a nice involving drive! THat said she still steers lovely and straight Steering box just been adjusted and new swivels / bushes etc. later this month should help. I'll be interested to see / feel what improvement these bring.

I find just over 40mph is a nice relaxed drive - over this you feel you're pressing on a bit and 50 is larging it!
I've often wondered if road tyres might feel better though, especially cornering in the wet.
