uhh i think its more of an adjustable bushing than a tre... you are talking about the end of the track bar right? or the tie rod... my tie rod connects to the draglink on the passenger side if that answers the question

Are the track bar and the drag link at the same angle?If they are not then they fight each other causing major bump steer or death wobble.
Or you may need to recheck your alignment job

Did you replace your arms or are you still running stock length arms ?old bushings in them? A little bit of play in any of this stuff plays hell on steering
I would say lower it and start cutting some sheet metal It will drive better

If you drive in a straight line @35 or and turn the wheel left or right enough to change direction and let go of the wheel does it straighten back up by itself or not. if not sounds like you may have an alignment issue

its a full blown long arm...fresh everything suspension wise. New bushings all around everything feels really tight...tre's, balljoints, sector shaft on the steering box, track bar...dont know of anything else that could be wrong

when going 35 mph and switching lanes it will pull hard into the lane im changing into the steering wheel shifts about 1/16 to 1/8 without input from the driver and then when i correct it i have to go around the same distance in the opposite direction and then the steering wheel returns to straight ahead. The toe in is about 1/8" and the steering wheel is straight caster is unknown but I do have an angle finder
