Default teg steering is too sensetive

Ok heres everything. I have a 95 gsr with 160k on the chasis and the motor has a rebuilt head. I have the normal mods done...cai,exhaust,struts,springs... Normal driving is fine but when i am driving above 4 or 5k rpm the steering becomes very sensetive and it loses a good feel for the road. It is especially hard when I am on the tollway and the cars revs are about 4k in 5th gear. I have to constantly correct the steering to stay in the lane and it becomes a frustration. Im sure with 160k on the body i need to replace some bushings but it feels more than that. Almost like the powersteering pump in helping too much.

Anyone got the same problem or a solution to mine?

can you go in a straight line? maybe you just need an alignment.

could be alignment, but first check tread wear and tire pressure.

I did lower it a good 2 inches but its on new tires so theres no tread wear yet. I like the camber but mabe it could be toe?

Im hoping its not the bushings because then it will finally force me to get the polyurethan kit and that would be a pain to install all of those bushings

2 inches huh, you probably do need an alignment.
