Yep in a nutshell. F**king dangerous, on the long open East Coast gravel roads the front end would just wash off to one side with no steering input to start the wash off and it wouldn't respond to steering inputs unless you were in 4wd and had your foot fully up it to pull the front back into line. Quite unnerving to be honest, it felt like you were crawling everywhere at 30-40k's just for safety... Chopped the inner edge of the front boots in about 5,000Km... Ended up fitting a 10mm spacer ring under the foam struts lower spring mount with gave the factory springs enough of a preload adjustment to lift the front end about 20mm which got us back into the range where the aligner could adjust the angles back into specification.
