Really need your help here, as ive come stuck again on what this could be.
Firstly, i need a new rear beam, this is being done on sat with a fully refurbed one by sam. Also the tracking is out and the front is -35mm than the rear. This problem was also there with my last front height of -20mm so not the heights fault.
A few weeks ago i noticed my handling had gone all wallowy and felt bad in the corners. I had 2 garages look at it and they noticed my shocks had play in them, which i showed on ssc.

Today i have replaced my shocks with billie sprintlines and faulkner springs. Ive been out for a drive and although its better, i still have no confidence in the steering.
Spec is:-
Front
Bilstein Sprintlines
Faulkner 250mm 155lb/ft springs
Upper and lower braces
6 month old standard wishbones
Good droplinks
Good topmounts
Recently replaced with S/H steering rack - no play
Rear
Knackered beam, cmaber on both sides
Bilstein sport/sprintlines
24mm ARB
Tyres - Goodyear Eagles GSD-3 new all round
Now atm the car feels like it rolls alot, but the problem feels like its at the front. The beam has been knackered some time now and this issue is only recent. At speeds of 60+mph it feels like its all over the road, no feedback through the steering and generaly unsafe.
Could it be the rear? Would it affect the overall handling that much to give an impression its an issue at the front.
Im sure my struts are fine as i had a garage swap the shocks and springs as i dont have spring clamps. They would have noticed if something was up with it, they said nothing.
The only part i havnt replaced on the front is the ARB bushes. I noticed when it was all apart that the ARB could be moved up and down very freely. Would failed bushes give the impression of increased roll in the corners?
I need to sort this asap, im driving 100 miles to sam on sat for the rear beam but atm feel like the car doesnt feel safe enough to drive that far. It will do it, but im not as confident in it as i was before.
If anyone can help asap, ill have the garage look at it again friday to give it a once over. Then ill just go get the rear beam on and lowered so its level and see what its like.
Essay over and thanks.
