ef suspension problems HELP
Alright Ladies and Gents. I need help. Baught a 91 ef hatch off my buddy. It was have a caster issue. When you hit you brakes it would go to negative caster. He said the problem didnt happen intel he lowered the car. He also had the bright idea to swap the eg spendals and coilovers and axels over. But didnt bother with researching up all the informantion. I swapped the car back to stock spindals bought the proper axels. And added skunk2 uppers and megan racing front lowers. I also added rev9 coilovers and brought it back to just a inch under stock hight. I also add rear camber kit by god snow. And skunk 2 alpha lca rear. I always double check my work all my **** is tightned up. But on the way home i get a sound on the right side like a flat. Its not the bearing because it wasnt making the noise in the air. And it has new axels. I also get a hard shift to the right and left when breaking now. Im stumped and taking it to the shop I work at in the moring. Does anyone have a idea what this could be. I never ran accross this problem I thing it could be the alignment which is getting done tomarrow. But could it be something worse? Could i have broke something? I have been in the honda game 3 years and auto scene for 6. And never came across such a confusion. Any ideas would be helpful. And yes i seached this up and couldnt find anything on it
Rack end bushing. And check for other play.
Jack the front of the car up, turn full left. Grab the steering rack and shake. Any play is from the internal rack end bushing.
Check tie rod ball joints and upper and lowers for play. Are the front strut bushings (inside the front crossmember) tight?
Check engine mounts too, rev the engine, see if it rocks too much.

Ball joints are new same with upper and lowers. There is play in the track bar on fp do to a the hole being stripped plan on tapping it out. But would one bolt cause that much play. Rack seems to be fine. Tie rod bushing are slightly worn but not completely shot to cause damage. spindal doesnt seem to be bent either. the front strut bushings seem tight as well even wiggled with a pry bar. Even in the air there was no wheel movement left to right or vertical. I am missing the mount on the front do to the after market tac bar. But I am ordering solid mounts do to that reason. Not planning to dump a bunch into the motor because im swaping it within the year. But trying to fix other peoples molested cars is a headache of it own. But I also dont think that the motor is causing that much movement because im not dawging the car out. I have babied it since i bought it. But i believe you might have a pount 2 issues could cause the problem. Missing front mount and a stripped hole
