Pushing= understeer. You turn the wheel and nothing happens or it happens too slowly.

Possible solutions:
Run a wider front tire.
Increase front negative camber.
Re-distribute weight in the car to move more of it to the front.
Add rake to your suspension setup
Change the rear sway bar to get the car to rotate more easily.

My Performance driving definitions for dummies:

Understeer (push)- When you hit the wall with the front of your car.

Oversteer (loose)- When you back your car into the wall.

Horsepower- How fast you hit the wall.

Torque- How far you move the wall when you hit it.
