as above, when i go around corners an the road is a bit rough the car feels like it skips across the road an also when going along straight if the road is rough like most of our roads are it just does feel right. ive changed all wishbone bushes an tie rods, tie rod ends, arb bushes an the top mounts seemed ok. running standard gti suspension. car is 52 plate with 80,000 miles, standard 16" gti wheels 205/55/16 tyres all good. tracking,caster an camber all been done. im at a loss on what to do next!! anyone got any ideas?

How fast are the corners we talking here .............
