And another thing I came across. As I've mentioned before, the steering on the GP has been slightly erratic in some conditions, like driving downhill on a curve. The steering feels like driving on ice, or like driving in heavy sideways wind, but only for a brief moment.
Anyway, I noticed that the top area of the struts seemed unusually "clean" and when pressing the front end down, there seems to be a bit of play on both sides, even though the strut top nuts were torqued to spec (back in November 2019). I made a short video where it is quite visible - is this a normal amount of up-down play, or should I tighten the top nut more?

The amount of play is roughly the same on both sides. I presume the cleanliness is from the top disc rubber base hitting the chassis upon bigger bumps.
