If the steering wanders at high speed, then check your front wishbone bushes. If they are all cracking up then they are shot.

make sure your tracking and camber are ok, might be top mounts or ball joints stiff.

yeah just on what modulater was saying, id replaced the top mounts last year, but  getting a 4wheel alignment & camber totally changed the characterisitcs of the car, and when the fella showed me the diagram before & after i realised why!!
