Yes, that's exactly what is called. Most cars are designed to understeer because it alot safer understeer then oversteer. Underteer, most of the time you can save it just by let off the gas. Oversteer, you can just lose it instantly (the rear end come around on you) but if you an expert driver (race driver), they know how to use the power to drift around the corner. To correct your problem, adjust to more negative cambers.

I second that -- most members who lowered their car got his adj. rear camber arm set.
