hey everyone just bought a 30th anniversary camaro white with orange stripes, to tbe basic problems when I bought it on bumps or corners or going over bridges the front end would shoot all over the road feeling like a tierod.....shop said bad rod so had them change it.....so now it still does it but not as bad and I just put a umi tq arm on and its faint but still there, when in the air the front is very loose so im thinking the rack n pinion is bad,any advice please

Did you change out all for tie rod ends - both inner and outer?

Could be shot bushings. How is your tire wear?

tire wear is there one outter replaced....honestly can't check cause the rack moves with any slight of movement so id like to start with rack. then go with poly bushings but want to make sure the rack is the main issue

yea yes they are but ball joints n hubs are fine its the side to side that's the issue, ordered the rack n pinion today....see how that is after the alignment

When you fix all that stuff mentioned above, the car will still likely feel loose. Just do a search on stock suspension and you'll find out. Stock shocks wear out really quickly. Stock springs are somewhat on the soft end and a bit high but they are decent.

Springs, shocks, swaybars are what you are looking for if you really want to turn the car into a handling machine.

Yeah, if it's ok when the roads are smooth and bumps are the issue... it's likely a shock issue.
