Default Bad steering problems

I tried this in the suspension section but didnt get much maybe someone in here can help. So i put upper and lower control arms and kmember in from umi new rack tie rod ends and everything else in the front end. Ive had it aligned twice but still when i back up the front wheels go to hughe amounts of negitive camber and toe in and if u back up very far it will rip the steering wheel out of your hands and turn hard left but stop and go forward and everything returns to perfect alignment and drives great down the road wtf is wrong

honestly i do not know, but they way you explain it sounds like something is loose or broken, because if it only happens when you go into reverse, something has to be getting hung up or popping out of place and then you say is fine when you go forward....crazy situation if its pulling that hard that it turns the wheel like that something has to be wrong with your rod ends...... sorry im not that much help hard to diagnose without looking at it. I would get someone else to stand outside your car while backing up and try to check it out
