Hi not sure if this the right place but at higher speeds like 90mph onwards my m52 325 doesn't feel planted the front seems to become light, I've noticed the anti roll bar bushes look a little worn but it's lowered thought that might b why there seems to b a little play would these cause this type of thing, has anyone had this before

Check that you have sufficient toe in at the front. 1mm minimum, up to 2mm.
Depending on what is worn, toe in, set up static, can become toe out when on the move.
