Havin a serious problem with my steering I ve replaced just about everything in the front end but for some reason something feels like its loose but I v double checked everything to make sure it's nt loose but it seems to grab the car and jerks it to one side when I hit cracks or uneven pavement, I ve replaced the rack, ball joints, upper control arms, and tie rods n still havin problems any advice would be greatly appreciated I am gettin desperate

 

HOW BOUT AN ALIGNMENT ..TIRES BALANCED ... JUST A THOUGHT

 

Have you replaced the lower control arm bushings?

 

Is the car slammed? did you get it aligned after lowering it? Is your camber way off?
Could be alot of things, what kind of condition are your tires?

 

Yeah man, I agree with the past two comments with alignment, balance, if your lowered, and make sure your tires have enough air too......it sounds stupid but I've had similar problems like that and ended up being tire pressure or too much camber wear.

 

This.

You shouldn't realistically expect a car to handle properly if you change most of the front end parts and don't get it aligned.

You probably could have solved your original problem by getting it aligned instead of throwing parts/$$ at the problem.

 

align the car then get back to us on how much better ur drive is

 

The alignment was the 1st thing I did when I changed the rack and the tires were new a couple weeks ago and they were balanced as well the tires are wearing super fast but it doesn't wear unevenly it wears perfectly across the whole tire but it just feels like something is loose and the car pulls off to 1 side whenever I hit a crack or uneven pavement, I can't figure it out

 

check your LCA's and all bushings accosiated with them.

 

what describe says bad alignment. do you still have the sheet they gave you when you got it done?

 

Did you get the alignment after EVERYTHING you changed, or just after the steering rack? Changing the rest of the stuff will mess up your alignment.

 

maybe check if the joints on your tie rod ends are not worn out. i know i had about an 1/8" of play in mine and i just replaces them i used to have terrible torque steer and it would grab on any pothole and almost yank me off the road. now that they have been replaced its a lot tighter and a lot of torque steer is gone.

 

I got the alignment done after I changed the rack and everything had already been replaced already n it was still doin it the only thing I replaced after the alignment was the tie rods but it was doin it before I changed those n it seemed to stiffen it up a lil bit but then it went back to the way it was

 

Changing tie rods will **** up your alignment.

 

I l get it aligned again n see what happens, n I l check the LCAs in see if those are worn

 

get the sheet out they gave you last time and compare it to the sheet they will give you this time....might give you some ideas about what is wrong if there are some differences.

 

Ok I will but honestly I don't think n alignment is goin to help but I l c wht happens

 

my car was doing this. i got an alignment and the problem was fixed. tires looked strait but i had a measurable 2" inches of positive toe
