Default Nervous steering?

Hey,

I've got something going on I think. When driving my S2K it feels nervous?
I mean, when accelerating in a corner it pulls to the opposite steering direction.
On a straight end no problems what so ever.

The car has a KW Variant V1, was aligned. After the alignment I lowered the car in the front by 2 cm and the rear by 1 cm.
There was also a problem with the left wheel bearing and hub wich got replaced by new OEMS. After that, it was a lot beter,
but still not completely gone.

Front tires 225/40/18 , rear tires 225/40/18. Pressure 2.5 bar/kg.

Any suggestions? Rubbers? Where?
Compliance bushings?

Replacing the bushings is not going to eliminate the need to realign the car if you alter the ride height.

Usually steering is nervous or twitchy due to toe (front or rear),bump steer, something loose/broken, or a tire issue. What does the steering wheel do if you hit bumps? If you lowered it more after you aligned it, have it realigned and toe reset.

Tires 225/40/18 all round, I'm going to change the rear to 245/35/18 and Re-align it. When I hit speed bumps the wheel stays straight.
