In reply to Vincent. Was your steering wheel straight when you replaced the tie rod? Could the clock spring be at the end of its travel now?

Well your problem with the tie rod that was loose is you can’t just “tighten” it up and voila its all better. When you are repairing them and having them replaced we often will mark or count how many turns so that the factory numbers are still within the oem steering specifications. So I would assume he probably over tightened it on one side because he would have had to take the opposing side off and count how many turns he did to get the proper number on the side he tightened. That’s why your saying it’s only 75% better cus its off just enough to still make that occasional wander or pull slightly. Hope that helps you out and that you try this solution to the tie rods to make sure there both within spec and even on both side.

In reply to Samuel. Sounds like a suspension or alignment issue, though it could be a bad tie rod end. You'll have to have the vehicle inspected to narrow the problem down. Best to get this done as soon as possible.

While driving straight I feel the car move to one side and have to keep the staring wheel turned to the other side to keep it moving straight. Staring wheel is unusually too loose or soft. What might be the problem.

In reply to lolo. Have you checked the wheel bearings and CV axle on that side?
