steering issues Hi everyone
I am looking for some advice
2000 WS6 , wifes summer car ,driven about 10,000 km per summer
car had aftermarket 18 inch wheels and cheap tires , sometimes it felt like you were driving on grooved pavement.
I put this down to crap tires, sometimes the car would felt like it was going to change lanes on its own.
Put on a set of stock 17s with BFG Comp2 tires ,no change
Wheel alignment
New P/S pump
New P/S pump pulley
New Belt
New Steering Rack (complete)
New P/S pump hoses (Both)
All parts are A/C Delco
car feels so skittish I don't want her to drive it
As we are locked down figured it was time to try again
any ideas or advise is greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Steve

What about ball joints, tie rod ends, upper and lower control arm bushings? Not sure, maybe the steering shaft rag joint? Not sure of much here with what must be a rack and pinion set up. How about an alignment? Tire pressures checked?

Do you have a copy of the alignment print out? Most cases that is caused by too much toe out on the front.
