Front Suspension Arms

What wheels are you running? Sounds like tramlining , could be steering track rod ends but the alignment shop should have picked up on that. On my summer 108 18" the car will pull more left and right depending on ruts in the road. On my 17" winters the drive is much nicer with less tramlining due to the width of tyre being less I believe.

I am hoping to better the steering feel even more after I complete this hydraulic steering conversion. All parts have arrived , just need the time now!
 
Thanks Jembo, that's a really helpful list (I'm up to number 5). Was there one thing that fixed it for you or a combination of all?

I'm running 18" Non RF tyres. Think they are fairly budget but should still be suitable for the car?

Agree.
I found out a long time ago that the lower profile the tyre, the more tramlining. On any car.
 
I fitted Meyle control arms, front drop links and front ARB bushes as well as new rear springs over the winter.
That has cured the tramlining so far...
I'm running on 18" rims with 225/40 front and 255/35 rear tyres.
