Heavy steering with a strong self entering action.

Self-centering not self entering

The first thing that comes to mind for the problem you describe is too much castor angle.

He didn't ask what was the cause, he asked what the effect was called.

I guess I was being a smart a** by deliberately answering his question rather than second guessing the intended question.

I think I hit all keys hard enough this time.
