A similar thing happens to old Landrovers when the Railco bushes are 
replaced by roller bearings. The bushes cause some friction and 
therefore damping in the steering system. The needle or roller bearings 
have little or no friction thus no damping.
In the Landrover this is solved by fitting a additional steering damper, 
effectively an oil shock absorber fitted between chassis and a steering 
link.
