Default steering jerks to the right help

when i first take off it does it slow and gets faster as i accelerate. im thinkin tie rods or something with the steering rack but the tie rods dont seem to be that bad off. if anyone knows exactly what i need to look for i would appreciate it

take off the front splash guards under the bumper and make sure the nuts on the end of your radius rods (where they attach to the front crossmember) are tightened down.

Sounds like your front toe adjustment is off. Toe will effect inner tire wear waaaaay more than camber.
Who told you you need camber kit?

Go get an alingment have them also check you're caster. May be out of spec if you removed them to do youre swap.

Make sure your tires are evenly inflated.
