Something worth sharing that Tom from Schumacher suggested is to look at the front hubs if you are experiencing under/oversteer to one side only. The hubs come with a small moulded stopper which limits the amount of steering travel the servo can offer. These lugs can break off in a crash so check your car to make sure both your hubs are the same. These lugs can also be removed with a hobby knife if you do require more steering than with the limiters.

I found my right hub had the stopper and the left didn't (I was donated the left hub by a team driver after a breakage who had removed the limiters) despite this I'm still not totally sure that this will solve my problem as the oversteer I'm experiencing changed from when turning right to turning left last week after just resetting my EPA's?

Despite this I felt it was worth letting you into what I've been told.

Probably is this, the steering hub with the lug missing will turn in tighter and could be causing the car to hook in one direction.

And Tom is GOD, so its definitely right.

I glued thicker lugs on to my steering hubs because i wanted less lock but i like steering when the inside wheel is locked in a certain position when on full lock, not flopping around.

Would be nice if schumacher (or any manufacturer) made these with a grub screw so you could adjust the full lock lockout.
