I need help. I have removed and replaced my steering rack and tie rods. I put brand new tie rods on my car and a fairly new rack. I adjusted everything to what I saw was straight till monday I take it to a shop to get a front end alignment. My problem is that the steering shakes over bumps and feels like the steering wheel is moving. It also feels like when I turn the car all the way to left or right it rubs. The steering wheel is straight and the tires are straight but somthing feels wrong, it shouldn't be that off should it? When I was replacing the tie rods I only touched these parts. The tie rod ends were the castle nut and cotter pin go and I replaced those both and tighten them back up. I removed the steering rack mounting bolts and replaced them with new 14mm bolts total of 3. The rack is tight and doesn't move at all up or down its really secure like it should be. Then I adjusted the tie rods to where the front wheels are both straight for now till the shop aligns it tommorw. The steering wheel I adjusted so that the wheel stays straight with the steering wheel. If iam doing anything wrong let me know. I just dont know why its all messed up when I replaced everything by the book. Iam really confused. Please give me some things to go over and check?
