Wheel flop

Hi

I have a touring bike (sold by LBS from their specs in Taiwan). The aluminum fork is at the limit of "wheel flop". When riding, it is "twichy", the fork is very bend forward. I measured the distance between the axle and the steering axis and it is 55mm. I'm looking to buy an other fork. What I see is one with 50mm rake. Would this fork make a difference in handling.

Thanks
