[QUOTE="rubes72, post: 192330, member: 2906"] Burn, I know you bought your rack already, but just for the sake of it, do this steps, might help, 1. when car jacked, try to move wheel, it it shakes, then your tie-rod is gone 2. check for cracks on your lower arm mounting 3. check your free play on your steering wheel.. there should be very little freeplay.. if freeplay is too much, you can adjust the freeplay setting... unless the coupling is gone. 4. Another attributed facter to sway is the steering bush is worn off, this is evident when you turn the sreering but the car takes time to response.. also it is difficult to maintain allignment. 5.Many workshops have uncalibrated allignment machines.. so, after allignment still have to do manual test. I hope tis helps. I know how it's like went thru it, and my mech told me to change almost everything, in the end I only changed the lower arm bushing and went to a reliable allignment shop.
