wheel stability on hard cornering

wheel stability on hard cornering?

my car is probably 100% normal.. but when im cornering really hard, like almost hard enough to understeer, my tires? seem to wallow left and right as in "camber". It just doesnt feel like the tires are being held in place properly.

Is this as simple as springs, or could some actual worn out bushings be more of the issue? The 2005 has 60,000 miles.

what kind of tires, how old are they,how worn are they,what are the tire pressures you are running,are the shocks original, does the loaded side fender rise and fall any amount in the corner,when was your last alignment?????
Are you getting the picture? Start with the simple stuff like tire pressure.Find a safe place to do repeatable tests, change only one thing at a time. Start with the cheapest fixes/changes and go from there. I'd try pressure changes first starting with stock and moving up no more than five pounds. Next i'd take it to a respectable alignment shop that KNOWS Subies and have them check out the whole suspension.
