Default streering wheel jerk

my civic when drive 55-60 mphs the streering wheel jerks hard to right. i changed the inner tierods and got an alignment, it help some but it is still jerking. i think it may be the outter tie rods, any help would be great!

How many miles are on your car?
What type of suspension mods do you have done?

Sounds like a tie rod issue, bring it to a shop, have them check it.

Do you get any shaking otherwise? like when you get on the brake, or driving in general?

K, then it definatly sounds like a tie rod issue, being that youve already had it aligned. id bring it to a shop.

does the wheel pull you or does it jerk when you hit a bump. 2 totally different things, and i would tkae it to the shop that did the alignment they should have looked for bad suspension pieces as a pre-alignment item. pointless to do an alignment if something on the suspension/steering is busted

Differential is acting up maybe? just a thought. My car pulls to one side sometimes on certain bumps, but thats only cause theres grooves in the roads in some places around where i live in NJ. List your car type (sedan, coupe hatch?) and all the mods you have done to the wheels, brakes, and suspension.
