Meaning it doesn't shoot off to the right or left while braking for example?

I think it was rebalanced or something. Something about when I got new tyres they weren't put on properly.

But, now when I turn, it turns a lot more sharply. And the wheel doesn't shake when I am going 80-96 kmh.

Yup, sounds like a re-balance. Did it also "pull" to the right or left while driving to a degree as well?

All and all positives.
Glad you got your car fixed.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Yeah, I believe so. My parent's kept complaining I kept going off to the right.

Me, either. When I was sixteen I thought it made me so cool, but then I also thought the Nazis were pretty cool guys. Kids get dumb ideas. Sometimes there's no solution for the present, and you just have to relax. Certain chemicals are good at assisting that process.

There is none. I don't drink not because of morals, but because I don't really feel like it.
