Default steering collumn or rod and pinoin need help!!!

i have a 91 si hatch and i just lowered my car about 6 weeks ago and everytime i turn my wheel left or right the steering wheel vibrates and shakes real bad and when i take sharp turns it shakes really bad and ticks...i havent had an alighnment yet but its getting worse..it used to only do it when i took sharp left turns but now its gotten to the point where if iam just driving and barely turn the wheel in any direction it vibrates real bad and ticks really loud...i dont know what to do!!! someone said it was my steering collumn and i had a bad rod and pinion...anyone had this happen or know what to do??????

The "ticks" you get while turning might actually be one or more of the CV joints going. If they were already going bad, lowering puts them at an extreme angle causing more wear and stress.

The vibration is probably partially alignment related too.

Check the rack for play.(tie rod end, inner/outer) or possibly the rack end bushing.
