Hey Celtic,
I could barely drive our's & stay in my lane - you could turn the wheel
a pretty good ways before anything really happened. It would also sort of grab whatever pavement imperfection & wobble off in different directions.
If you do a search on here for "drunken monkey" you will see the problems & solutions discussed.
You tend to rebuild the whole front end - I don't think you will find much improvement with just changing out shocks but it's a start.
