Steering seems "too sensitive" and loose almost????
like when going over a rough patch of road the steering wheel will jerk back and forth i accordance with the bumps, I get torque steer sometimes when punching it and even semi punching it, but for crying out loud its an F22B2 with an intake, were not talkin big ponies here. Another thing is sometimes when braking for a stop the steering wheel will pull either left or right at random(but this is most likely uneven brakeing or a warped rotor, odd since its not concistent in direction)
I like driving like Im in a road race from time to time
could this have loosened up my steering this much? or am I just over sensitive to this...
My info:
94 Accord LX
F22B2/intake
Enkie 5 spokers with Dunlop sport A2's
120ish K

I'd check your tie-rods. My dad crashed my ole' civic into a wall b/k of a tie-rod failure. Very dangerous if one of them (you have 4) happens to fail in a 95mph sweeper....opps! No steering!!

Sounds like you need an alignment.
What size wheels?
What are the tire dimensions?
Stay the hell away from me.

if you disassemble the tierods, you have
rod-end--adjuster link--rod-end
rod-end--adjuster link--rod-end
the rod-end (joints) are where they can fail...

No it's the lower part of 13...that ball joint looking item. That joint is covered with a heavy duty rubber and is lubbed with heavy-duty grease. The joint articulates just like your hand on wrist...it swivels in a 360 pattern around an axis.
