Still don't like the steering feel 200 1980

I hope it isn't the rack. It has felt like this since they put the rack in. So unless they used a worn rack.... I have replaced the shocks with bilstein HD's but the balljoints and bushings have not been replaced.

Because it felt funny right after they installed it I think it is something to do with the rack or the installation. Could it need new u-joints?

To describe the feeling a little better... When cornering the steering wheel seems to fight me and wants to return to center. If I release the wheel from only 20 degrees (right or left) it will fly back to center and swing the other way. It doesn't seem like there is actually any "play" in the steering. i.e. when I turn the steering wheel the wheels turn right away.

Anyone have any thoughts???
