S14 Poor steering response

Hey zilvians,

Last year it seemed my S14 had some great steering response, it felt like it sat on a rail. But as this season has gone on, i have noticed my steering response go to shit. It takes nearly 180 degrees of steering wheel turn to make a sharp sudden movment and when going down a highway and performing quick right left movments of the wheel the car hardly moves..

Current suspension mods only consist of:
PBM coilovers
TEIN tension arms up front

Car sits decently low and my allignment was done at home (measured out by myself) the car drives perfectly streight.

Brand new tires as of two days ago (which seemed to only make the issue greater)
wheel specs:
18x9.5 +15 - 225/40/18
18x10.5 +12 - 225/40/18

My Current assumptions:
(1) After driving with stiff suspension/ low profile stretched tires, the bushings in the suspension arms are now worn out

(2) Rear right sway bar is missing a washer to the bushing so the pressure is distributed through the bolt into the bushing, causing less response and more body roll

(3) Allignment specs are conflicting each other from rear setup to front causing the issue.


Let me know if any of you have had such issues.

thanks
