Default Is steering angle (castor) adjustable?

I ask because ever since i put my steering column back in after swaping out the pedal bracket my car handles weird. Steering is very easy, like i have power steering again, and its very responsive. If i turn the wheel a full 360 degrees it will start turning itself more and more until it locks. And every little bump makes it sway, if i let go of the wheel sometimes the car will just start turning left/right/left/right........ I dont think its camber or toe because none of those was changed, but i didnt know you had to set the castor when puting the column back in. Oh, and slo everytime i hit a bump my tires will chirp a little bit. weird. What do u guys think?

I think you need to get it on an alignment rack to be for certain what is going on. Caster is non-adjustable on our cars. It sounds like Toe, but ya never know..

yeah definetely get it aligned... caster is non-adjustable if your stock... if you have a camber kit such as ingalls (where you can change each anchor bolt independently) then you can slighty adjust caster... however i dont think caster is your problem... did you double checkto make sure everything was properly put back in?

hmm..its gotta be toe or camber then. What kinda toe setting would make it handle like i described? Its gotta be positive if anything. Anyway, my car kinda pulls to the left a little. The tires are worn on the inside, the last inch of tread is pretty gone, but thats negative toe right? Il just take it to Goodyear or Sears. Thanx guys.
