Alignment changes from left to right and back
Ok, never though I would have this issue but... my alignment seems to change as I go from right to left, whenever I make a sharp right or left, the car will start pulling in that direction. I got an alignment with 0 toe all around and -2.8 camber front and -.7 rear. This sh*t happened before and I though the rack was messing up, swapped it for a rack from a much better taken care of car and still same sh*t happens. Any thought?

That's what I was thinking, something is binding. I have Megan coils on, super clean, car kept in garage, saw three dry events last year. Maybe the rack or the column is the issue, but replacing the rack already I highly doubt that that is the problem, could tie rods or ball joints have anything to do with it? I now run Abercrombie knuckles and Mazdatrix spacers and links but had the same issue before any steering mods.

Could be the rack mounting bushings are worn and letting it slide back and forth a bit.
Have someone turn the wheel lock to lock while you watch the rack for movement.

Only thing I can think of is going over small curbs at the track, ordered a new set of ends, hopefully they will be here before the 7th.
This was torqued, the driver side is perfectly fine, I noticed this after checking for torque marks I put on the nuts and knuckles when I assembled everything. So this thing would spin inside pulling wheel in and out causing my car to pull in all directions.
