So, I've recently replaced tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints and replaced tortion bar bushings. When I was finished it was pretty obvious I needed an alignment. Took it to the shop the other day for the alignment and I seemed to want to wander in my lane, seem always needing to correct. I figured it was alignment. I've put a few miles on her since then and it still feels "floaty" and wants to wander...wallow is a word that comes to mind, like an old Caddy w/bad power steering and shot shocks. I can remove my hands from the wheel @30-40 mph and she tracks straight. Also getting some vibration, on the steering wheel, @ higher speeds. I've never had the wheels, on car, balanced, but it was never a problem because it steered like a truck w/o power steering. During the rebuild I'm sure I banged and pounded on various parts of the steering mechanism, while removing tie rod ends and such. A-arm was removed and reinstalled, shocks were removed at bottom and loosened at top. Shocks (Monroe) have less than 4K mi on them. I'm gonna go back under and see if everything I replaced is still torqued right, but anyone have any other thoughts? Anything I might have missed?
Thanks
