Yeah that's what I'm thinking.... It also seems a bit tail-happy if I take a corner too quick, rather than understeering. Which is why I was thinking the anti roll bar, the body roll and steering reaction delay seems immense right now - much like it did when I had that half ton of phone books in the back. Except now the exhaust isnt scraping 
...or is that my old crappy reactions taking over from experience, so i'm jerking off the throttle and turning even tighter (oversteer city) rather than lifting off gentle and decreasing the turn angle a little..?
(will have to test it somehow! i've accidentally had it do a 180 pirouette on me while i was still at uni after all - but that WAS on a very tight and oily roundabout in the rain, and the next time i took it, a different angle of attack merely saw mega understeer. These problems are manifesting on dry, clean motorway slip roads at about 40mph.. not the tightest of turns, though i was probably taking it a little fast for the radius)
Even if the oversteer is all down to me, the steering just don't feel "right" thru the wheel. I'm gonna check the wheel nuts haven't come loose again!
