isn't tyre squeel something to do with tracking? or wheel balance?

I fitted an OMP to my Sport and it made the car firmer, yes but also understeer...(my experience)

think thats the same as mine.
the ends can be ajusted (a bit) so they dont foul as much

I had mine on the car just to show I had one

I think you should put a rear ARB then it might rectify it..
