....and also, if your steering offset is excessive, that will make the steering twitchy. The offset I'm talking about is....if you draw a line through the two ball joints (on the same side of the car!), the steering offset is the distance from the centre of the tyre contact patch to the point where that line through the ball joints hits the ground. Ideally the offset should be a little inboard of that point. All the other previously mentioned factors are important as well (including Ackermann!)
Good luck.
Cheers,
Glen
