yes the suspension will be slightly lower and stiffer. following the lines in the road or 'tramlining' can be caused by badly worn tyres

start with tires, ware and pressures. Check track rod ends and stearing idler for play, but ultimately will probably be shot wishbone bushes most likely imho.

Also check rear donut bushes behind triangular plate below/under rear doors, little buggers they are...
