I recently installed my rack from Jorgen, new tie rod ends, and new lower U joint (steering)- All aligned.
Symptoms-
- the wheel is ~5degrees off at rest
- there is a "clunk" on the passenger side of the car on irregular roads
- at 40mph+ on a straight flat road the car steers back and forth several degrees rapdily (swerves)- holds a straight line
- at higher speed the car swerves violently beyond control of holding the wheel.
I've looked at it, and a mechanic looked at it, and everything is tight-

I drove it yesterday and had nightmares about it
