Why is it always two steps forward, one step back?

A similar thing happens to old Landrovers when the Railco bushes are
replaced by roller bearings. The bushes cause some friction and
therefore damping in the steering system. The needle or roller bearings
have little or no friction thus no damping.
In the Landrover this is solved by fitting a additional steering damper,
effectively an oil shock absorber fitted between chassis and a steering
link.
