? Fixing my Milano's "Rear Steer"?

["Jason Ball" <madmac@domain.elided>]

After lots of work rescuing my acquired  87 Milano Gold, (I rebuilt the
engine, front suspension, steering ect.) I am working to solve her high
speed / high G instability issue.   On slow right bends above 70 she starts
steering on her own and I can feel the rear end move around on sharp bends.

The alignment shop found the caster/ camber to be in spec but the thrust
angle was off. (0.27 as I recall)  Looks like its time to do the Watts
bushing and possibly the deDion bushing.

My Alfa shop is all booked up for at least the next 2 weeks and I'm
considering doing the work myself. (I have a road trip planned in 2 weeks.)
I understand that replacement of the Watts and deDion bushings requires a
shop press, which I don't have.

- -Can any shop press be used or are there special "Alfa" adaptors needed?

- -Are there poly bushings available that might be installed w/o use of a
press?

- -If the deDion bushing needs replacement, can this be done w/o removal of
the entire deDion from the car? (as per shop manual)

- -Any advice on my instability issue would be greatly appreciated.

I=B9m also looking for a new set of shocks and could use advice the relative
merits of Stock vs. KYB vs. Bilstein vs. Koni (are koni reds available for
Milano??)

- -I=B9m looking for street performance on bumpy roads using stock springs and
anti-roll bars.  My impression is that KYB=B9s and Koni Yellows would be too
harsh on an otherwise stock suspension.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me get this far!  (on the road)
