Re: Help me somebody please!!!!!
Is the car slammed? did you get it aligned after lowering it? Is your camber way off?
Could be alot of things, what kind of condition are your tires?

Yeah man, I agree with the past two comments with alignment, balance, if your lowered, and make sure your tires have enough air too......it sounds stupid but I've had similar problems like that and ended up being tire pressure or too much camber wear.

This.
You shouldn't realistically expect a car to handle properly if you change most of the front end parts and don't get it aligned.
You probably could have solved your original problem by getting it aligned instead of throwing parts/$$ at the problem.

The alignment was the 1st thing I did when I changed the rack and the tires were new a couple weeks ago and they were balanced as well the tires are wearing super fast but it doesn't wear unevenly it wears perfectly across the whole tire but it just feels like something is loose and the car pulls off to 1 side whenever I hit a crack or uneven pavement, I can't figure it out

I like the tuna here
Re: Help me somebody please!!!!!
Did you get the alignment after EVERYTHING you changed, or just after the steering rack? Changing the rest of the stuff will mess up your alignment.

maybe check if the joints on your tie rod ends are not worn out. i know i had about an 1/8" of play in mine and i just replaces them i used to have terrible torque steer and it would grab on any pothole and almost yank me off the road. now that they have been replaced its a lot tighter and a lot of torque steer is gone.

I got the alignment done after I changed the rack and everything had already been replaced already n it was still doin it the only thing I replaced after the alignment was the tie rods but it was doin it before I changed those n it seemed to stiffen it up a lil bit but then it went back to the way it was

get the sheet out they gave you last time and compare it to the sheet they will give you this time....might give you some ideas about what is wrong if there are some differences.
