Default Front end

When I bought my 81 Vett. It came with 400 series tires. I hopped in and out of the ruts in the roads. So I had the front end looked at and repaired some of the linkage. I then went to a 300 series tires. 99% of the time things are good. But if I put my foot in it the front end gets a little unstable. Like the psi on the front tires is demished. This is a stock 350 so I doubt it's lifting the front end. I know the Corvette came out with a 200 series tires. Or is the steering box loose? Has anyone put one of those small shocks that help stabelize the front end? This is something that is starting to bug me. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck

Check all steering and suspension parts for wear and replace as necessary.
Get a front and rear wheel alignment by someone that knows something about Corvettes
Let us know how that works for you.
Good Luck
