Front end feels light after alignment
Front end feels light after alignment Took the T/A in for an alignment because it had been tracking really bad on grooved roads and was told that i needed to change both outer tie rod ends and one inner. I went ahead and replaced everything with some MOOG parts and took it in for an alignment. It now pulls to the left a little and more importantly, at highway speeds the front feels very light and at 100-130 the steering wheel vibrates like a bent wheel. Let alone the front end steers like it's off the ground.
I'm going to get it realigned somewhere else but i just want to understand how an alignment could cause these problems, aside from pulling left, that is!

Could also be due to excessive toe-in. My car recently had an alignment due to a slight drift to the left. My car drove straight after the alignment but felt light and numb compared to before. Had them bring some toe-out (to just above 0), and it drives nice and tight again.
