i think gracer nailed it on the head. flip youre tie rod ends over, they will be at a less dramatic angle.

This is also what's causing your bumpsteer problem. Get the tierods installed correctly, get the front end (re)aligned, and test drive it. I'll bet your bumpsteer problems go away.

Don't feel bad, I've personally installed my tps backwards and the guy I bought the car from had the calipers reversed and upside down.

i suggest to get your car corner balanced my car weight 2953 with 3/4 of a tank and 50/50 weight distribution.

and after driving my car you are going to want to get the atomic rack
