Default My Car still goes to the left

I drive a 96 integra with a b18c motor, w/ lsd tranny, and my car goes to the left when i mash on the gas. Recently had my hub bearing changed and my outer tie rod today. My car still goes to the left, anyone know what the problem still causing this? maybe my rack and pinion is out? can someone help me?

for some reason it feels like torque, but i figured its not it, since the lsd is there for a reason, so something in my steering is messed up.

rack and pinion is a Bitch to take out and put in, you have to go under the dash and unbolt the column, then unhook the power steering lines if you have them, unhook the tie rods, then unbolt the pinion itself and try to figure out a way to get it out of where it is, not much room but you can imagine

u know what, i forgot to explain why this steering situation started. One day i was driving on the freeway and was taking a turn pretty fast, and my steering locked up, i had force my wheel to unlock, and ever since my steering has gone to the left.
