It's the wheel alignment. You need neutral toe adjustment.
Too much toe-in and it's twitchy on the highway and squeal on round a bouts and car parks. Too much toe-out and it'll be doughy on the highway.

Ya know, I don't know.
Easy enough to check out YouTube.
It's not a hard job, a little tedious maybe. Exacting though, to the millimeter. I'd try to explain but, I'm on the phone atm.

I measured it a few different ways and it was about 8mm out. I loosened the bolts and then re measured again and it was only 1-2 mm out. Not sure if I got the first measurement wrong or when I loosened the nuts it moved. I will.have to drive it and see if it's changed.
