steering problems persist

Sorry! Just realized this- my work computer has an old account, for which I thought I didn't have a password- I will correct this.
RIV and I are the same person- perhaps I need a third account for rhodeislandarchitectomvolvo? or maybe having two accounts makes me look less ignorant frequently?

The tie rod end was seated and installed (I know because I used a torque wrench) when I took it to Midas- Clearly I exercised poor decision making having the alignment performed w/ bad ball joints- I was just trying to get it back on the road for the time-being.

What does not track for me, is that if I was not having this steering problem before I did the work, why would it be a result of bad ball joints, which did not change from then til' now?

Getting back to the rack- it really only goes in one way, and everything is tight- what are the potential errors there?

I will install the new ball joints when I receive them (great to have fcp local), and bring it to my volvo mechanic who is a great guy, have been working on them since the early 70's and always gives me a fair deal, unless by some miracle this is a synthesis of ball joint/toe issues brought out by the other work.
