well my steering is real wondery and im trying to figure something out. it pulls with the road, and when you try and correct it, it gets over corrected. there is a little slop in the steering wheel, not much. this is what it looks like.. i have a jks adjustable trac bar.

yes had it aligned. not sure what they put the castor at. If i have it realigned is there something i should tell them that it should be around? like castor and toe in. thanks for your replies

it should be alright then if they went by stock specs. caster you want around 5-7 degrees and slightly toed in. I usually do the tape measure method and try to get the very front of the tires about 3/16" closer to eachother than the rear of the tires.

Are you sure they didn't just set the toe?

Replace the ball joints and get new heavy duty steering! You cannot go wrong doing both of those things! preventative maintenance and an upgrade!
