So i got Loose steering and it drives down the road rough like it clunks over bumps and almost feels like it crab walks on bumps
i have replaced a few things and it was good for about a month but loose steering once again. and when im trying to turn around it sounds like it skips and the steering wheel doesn't return to center on its own.

I have replaced:
Front end suspension:
-Upper control arms.
-Lower control arm bushings
-Shock absorbers
- Coil springs
-idler arm bushing
-pitman arm
-steering damper
-tie rod ends
Even replaced Wheel bearings and seals.

And another thing...

Im planning on replacing the rear suspension as well .. and thing i should be aware of or things i should not do..

honestly it varies sometimes going 110 km down the highway everything will be okay then all of a sudden it feels like the rear tries to steer for a few seconds then normal, sometimes steering is loose sometimes its tight, oh! and it sits all night when i start the car in the am it drives perfectly fine till everything is warmed up then i starts acting up
