Default Steeting is loose on highway

When Im driving 60+ mph on the highway the car feels really loose in the front.Not responsive at all.Feels pretty dangerous to drive.The car was lowered 3-4 months ago and this got worse and worse.I did get a half assed alignment done the other day, which I think only fixed the alignment, not the toe or camber.

What should I look at replacing or adjusting?Tie rods, ball joints?

A half-asses alignment? What exactly do you mean by that?

If something was waaay out of spec, the alignment shop surely would have told you. And they would have provided you with a sheet of your cars alignment specs.

If the steering is loose, I'd suspect possible tie rod ends.

It was a hookup from a honda mech. here on the boar, but didnt mention that the camber and everything wasnt going to be adjusted.Not much of a hookup really

check a few things tire pressure. wheels are balanced, alignment, axles (if they are remanufactured they can sometimes get shakey) and like he said tie rod ends.
