Default STEERING PROBLEM NOW!?!?!?!

Ok....Now that I have all of my codes fixed my damn steering is crapping out on me. It's super loose!! It feels floaty and unsafe like the road is pulling me all over the place. Every little bump feels like it's gonna throw me off the road and is really loud! My negative camber looks like this // \\ It was never this bad. WTF is wrong?!?!? I have brand new bearings and my axles are almost new so what could this be?

Welp....I just learned that pretty much every component except for my new bearings and axles is bad. Upper and lower balljoints, inner and outer tierod ends....The whole 9. I guess I'm gonna just buy an entire steering rack because thats shot to **** too.....How the hell am I gonna afford this ****?

Well you can get a steering rack from a pick and pull for about $30, all your ball joints and such off Ebay, hell, toss in the Quaife steering rack if you're feeling adventurous. Total Cost:

Steering Rack + Manual Cross member = $30 + tax (at a decent pick and pull)
Lower Ball Joint + Upper Control Arm Set = 90$ off Ebay
Inner + outer tie rods....um...Never really looked.
Quaife Steering rack gears - 220$ (optional)

I have bought some stuff from that ebay seller it fit and looked like stock parts, good quality. but you should get an alignment first, if your toe is out of whack even a little bit the car can feel super darty and twitchy and hard to drive straight and will wander, try a $60 alignment before you spend money on something you might not need.
