Rather loose front end... what could it be?
I have a strange loose feeling coming from my front end. the car is understeering much more than normal (especially for a car with coilovers and a rear sway). I'm on almost new eagle F1 GSD3's, those have about 3k on them... Stock front sway bar, new strut bushings and bearings, koni shocks set to moderate-stiff setting.
tire pressure is nominal. (i think)
my initial thoughts:
sway bar end links (though they haven't begun to make any noise)
bushings
my tire pressure gauge is lying to me...
any other possible causes of this problem? Thanks!

As my friend recently stated, with that setup, the car should handle like its on rails. Reverse
bias on tire pressures can definitely induce oversteer or understeer, depending on severity. My guess knowing very little about your car would be bushings, but I would double check tire pressures.
