oversteer
Not sure if this is a common issue, but at higher speeds (+ 90mph) and secondary roads with a few bumps, my car seems to oversteer somwhat. I do not notice it on the superslab, but i do prefer driving the backroads when I can.
I am going to get the alignment checked next week. my mechanic thinks it may be off with the camber adjustment since the shocks and bushings seem fine, and tires are also in good shape.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

does it feel like she 'floats' on those bumps, maybe trying to 'drift' on coming back to the pavement, and you feel like you have to put a little more wheel effort into it to keep her straight?
there is some "drifting" on the more bumpy roads, but also, in sweeping turns the car seems to oversteer as well, and I have to keep correcting as i go around the curve. The oversteer happens in either direction. My Ford Edge takes the same corners better and faster without any feeling of floating or oversteer.

Well, in that case, I'd really look at the control arm bushings...all of them, upper and lower. Mine had a similar condition, and the lower front was 'bleeding', I'd wager a small amount that there's at least one dead down under.
Thanks for the advice. I'll have my mechanic check out the front end bushings. I was beginning to wonder if i was the only one with this problem, or if everyone had it and were not going to admit it
. Thanks for directiing me towards a solution. I'll post again once it is repaired.
