    I put new upper control arms on both sides and new inner and outer tie rod ends new ball joints both sides.
    Because it feels like there is slack or something that is scary when driving the liberty.
    Be driving down the hwy and like it always left to right outta control for a split second or two.
    No other way to explain what's happening than slop in the steering.
    Does anyone know what I should check?
    Thanks
    Lewis

    Assuming OEM equivalent upper CA (and orientation), BJ, TR parts were installed correctly, recheck all torque specs even the lug nuts. Then take it back to the alignment shop to look for the steering slop.

    Could it be the rack or steering box?
    Even rotated the tires.
    Guess I will go back to the alignment shop and see if one of the workers will go on a drive with me
