steering issue

I installed a maximun motorsports bump steer kit(outer tie rods) and ever since they've been on, my car wants to pull to the left AND right while driving even with the alignment strait all around. It also has limited turning radius and rubbs the control arms if turned too far. I figured that it could of been because of the width of my cobra wheels, but still happens with stock wheels

Did you get the alignment done at a shop, or just adjusted it yourself by eye? You could have too much toe in on the steering, where the wheels point in a bit too much. this would cause the front end to be kinda twitchy like that.

When going in reverse, is it also sensitive, or less so than before? Also, did you get new tires at the same time? Some tires like to grab ruts & cracks in the road.

Did you adjust the shims on the bumpsteer kit with the car level, and the stands under the spring buckets?
