Default New steering rack, car still drives like crap.

I bought a new steering rack for my 91 sedan and had it installed at my alignment shop that specializes in modified cars. The car has full coilovers with skunk2 camber kits, and LCAs. My car feels a little better but not much. They installed new rack bushings and outer tie rod ends. I'm a little disappointed to be honest. It almost feels like the alignment is off but everything is within spec. The car drives straight but when you turn left the steering pulls left more than you turned the steering wheel if that makes any sense. Please help!

are you saying your steering wheel doesnt return to center during and after the turn? then the rack is too tight.

post your alignment results.

whats your camber and caster?

why do you have adjustable camber? something bent?

how low are you?

It's not that low. It's a daily driver and I dont like running too much camber that's the reason for camber kits. I'll post pics of the alignment sheet tomorrow and pics of the car so you can see how low it is.

You should ditch those camber kits. They're not helping anything.
