Amazingly, they make both the ride and the handling improve. That's an unusual combination. The only thing I don't know specifically about the ~95 and Koni adjustables is if they can be adjusted after install. On th eNG900/9~3 it's a 3 minute job to adjust all four corners. >I agree with you about wander with partly worn tyres, but the problem >here is definately float over ripples rather than following ridges or >camber changes. I think you are right then. The other conditions do cause groove wander. The only other thing I thought of was that your condition occurred right after the bushing replacement. It's probably a symptom of fresh bushings just accenting the shock problem - but it might be worth looking over the bushing work to make sure nothing is loose or wearing in wrong. > >Martin
