Default 02 ws6 vs 98 formula suspension

I recently purchased a 98 formula and it seems to me that it is less stable at high speeds 70 mph plus. Anyone else notice this?

honestly, probably just from the car being older. even an 02ws6 is 8 years old, and the suspension is going to be worn even if its low mileage.

my 01 firehawk has basically the same suspension as a WS6, and with only 47k miles on teh car, which is garaged, the stock front control arm and sway bar end link bushings are all cracked. As stuff wears out, i replace it with upgraded aftermarket parts... even the WS6 suspension pieces, like the PHB and LCAs, they are just stamped steel and you can twist them by hand.

Probably just different alignment specs.

I understand that the bushings wear out but after 70 on the freeway the steering gets loose vs the ws6 it is nice and tight.
