Hello All:

I got the TR3 race car out of the falling down shed to move it to the
"garage" shed so I can work on it for Mid-Ohio. Some mice are looking
for their home. I drove the car on the road a little. 

The Darting Around Without Driver Input is worse than I remember it
being. I have to constantly make steering corrections. The blue TR3
feels like it's on
rails compared to the race car.

John Hornbostel, do you remember when this started or did it always do
it?

Is it bump steer? I am not aware of the darting being connected to
hitting a bump, but it might be.  

Is there a fix or is it the kind of thing we just live with?

It seems that it wasn't so bad in the driver's schools as it is on the
road. adrenalin?

The front suspnsion has lowered springs, Delrin bushings, and a 7/8"
sway bar. I think it's stock otherwise. Could the lowering cause bump
steer?

The car had lots of toe-out when I got it. I set it for zero toe-in
myself with a bar I got from Moss. It didn't seem to help much. I could
have screwed it up. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
