I recently swapped out my GC's, and threw in some ITR springs. After the install, I noticed the steering was a lot looser. Any input from the road affects the steering a lot, and the wheel doesn't return fast after I'm done turning, so I have to manually counter-steer. Say If I wanna make a U-turn, if I begin the turning the wheel and let go, the wheel is turn all the way to full lock by itself. What could be the problem? The car drove perfectly before the springs, so is it an alignment issue? Tire pressures are all set correctly. Oh, I also installed the stock UCA back in.

 

sounds like power steering for some reason not sure

it's most likely an alignment issue. If it was lower before, and you had it aligned, now that it's higher it will have different camber and toe settings. Both of those will effect handling.

definately an alignment issue. when i put in my loweing springs and ingalls kit i had the same probs with steering....alignment fixed it.

 

Toe settings can make the handling change like night/day.
