I recently replaced my lower control arms, ball joints, and tie rod ends on my 2000 VW Jetta. Before I replaced any of these parts the vehicle drove straight and the steering was tight. After installing the parts, I took the car to get an alignment. While driving to the mechanic I noticed that the steering was "squirrelly" I thought it would go away when the alignment was complete. When I went to pick up the car, the mechanic told me that the alignment was complete but the front end was still "squirrelly". The steering is straight, but any time I hit a bump or just driving at highway speeds the steering will float and is unpredictable. I am wondering if anyone knows of anything I can check to fix the issue. All my ball joints and tie rod ends are specific left and right parts, but the lower control arms are not. I called the company and asked if they were specific and I was told that they are universal. Another thing I noticed is when I push the front down and work the suspension the tires toe in and out
