Looking for suggestions on building a steering stabilizer

Hello everyone. I am pretty new to the bit scene. I recieved a microsizer Subaru WRX for Christmas and I love it. I have already modded the poor thing. I could'nt wait. It has been lowered drastically (thanx to my dremel) hand painted details, trued wheels and tires, 2.6 motor, 8.25:1 gearing, and other various mods, my question is ... do you think that it would be possible to build a sort of "stabilizer" bar to keep the front hubs straight? I am experiencing wander and have tried a few solutions. This has been happening with the body on or off.
My first solution was to play with the trim. No matter how I adjust it it still drifts to the left. My next thought was to check for dust or other debris, I pulled the entire front end apart to make sure the magnet was aligned, and it was. Everything was cleaned and put back together properly. I then checked the body for spots the tires may rub ( I had previously lowered it by modding the body) I used my trusty dremel to trim the inner fenders to eliminate any unwanted contact.
I have also been experimenting with the top stabilizer. I removed it to further lower the front of my car. It turned a little too fast so I messed with different tires to induce understeer. It handles much better but still drifts.
I have noticed a lot of play in the hub/chassis/steering assembly. I would love suggestions on how to reduce the excessive play , and to create a lower steering stabilizer.
