Apart from it being too high and the geometry out , try a steering damper on the rod between your wheels , Cheers Paul.

Need to flatten the angle of panhard and tie-rod.

Lift the panhard-rod mount on the front diff about 70mm.

Then you need to lift the LH tie-rod end by same amount so it remains parallel with panhard rod. Someone in Sydney does (or did) a bracket that bolts to the LH knuckle and raises the tie-rod connection point. JMac or someone like that I think it was? TSL on here had one on his GQ. Think he's changed his username to 65Mog?

Alternatively, reduce the amount of susp lift.

Edit, this is the one.
