Default Steering Wheel Pull

Just swapped in all "new" suspension. Everything from rear disc brakes, to steering rack, subframe and struts..

I haven't had an alignment done yet, because I don't want to have to get it done twice..

Anyway, if I let go of my wheel, at any speed it turns right hard and will turn all the way until it stops.. Sort of like when you're in reverse with the wheel turned..

Any ideas what was done wrong?

The outer tie rods are probably just way out of proper adjustment.

Alrighty, lets say it's not the tie rod ends.. What else could it be? I'm a few hours away from the car right now, so I'd like to go into the job knowing what I'm looking for. I found this, seemed pretty helpful, and might help with cutting down on threads like this.
