How is it the steering in your car got considerably lighter with an ackerman change.
My thought is the tyres are not working against each other, but I would not expect much difference at speed but it sounds like that is not the case.

I would not agree with the latter part of this statement. In a corner without ackerman the tyres will be arcing on a different radius so no working directly against each other but certainly not working together. I cannot give a definitive answer but my experience was that I had lighter steering and the ackerman got the blame! Rightly or wrongly!
