I think check your suspension, mine was like this (on the motorway) until i replaced the shocks and springs. At the same time get your rear anti roll bar and drop link bushes checked. :smiley:

The rear ARB is fixed in position and has no droplinks  :rolleyes:. Wouldnt cause a light front end either just as the front ARB and drop links wouldnt. Not a lot of help but saves you looking for something that isnt there lol.

This is a common, well known problem with all the big bumpers. They don't like to go over 70 with all the weight  :evil:
