You cross winds on the road? Usually adding castor fixes alot of this. You can get a small amount by slotting the upper strut mount holes in teh body and sliding the strut mount backward.
A better fix is to slot the vertical bolt holes for the two large bolts that hold the forward "T" section of the subframe...and slide the frame forward as far as you can...about 1/2". The rear bolt is already slotted in the body just for this.
Also lowering the front end to level by using the audi strut cartridge and stub helps tremendously. Also going to lower profile tires helps a measure more. I have 205-60-15's on aftermarket chrome 356 porsche steel wheels.....they fit perfectly. Ray
