improving Kona Ute

I've had one for a year now, replaced the 170mm double with a 175mm triple and longer stem with bar ends , MKS clipless platform pedals, OMM front rack. I added the front rack because the front end felt too "loosy goosey" with a full tail load but it just doesn't seem right. Anyone else familiar with the Ute and have an opinion about it's front end handling? I'm wondering if it needs a different front fork. Basically it feels like it can get into a big shimmy if I get out of the saddle or if I take a tight turn the front tire wants to "scrub" out of line.
