Sounds like a toe problem. Thereis some adjustment on the TT...>>
forthe rear toe but not much and you have to use a 'special' tool for adjustment.
I had to put a full k-mac in order to correctly adjust the toe.

after swapping out my control arms for Defcon3 ones...my toe was out so bad...
i barely made it home from KMD, then, had to hobble over to the alignment shop this afternoon.
just by looking at the front, the left front wheel was facing out while the right one was doing the same. i was literally dragging both wheels down the street (30 odd miles) at a slow crawl...while each tire was trying to jerk out in opposite directions. crazy. glad that ordeal is over.

...i put in new ball joints...
so it was just an eyeball thing to put it back together. i'll have to get some new rubber soon anyways...i'm due for some, so i didn't really care that much.
funny thing...when returning the control arms to mike, i couldn't for the life of me, get the ball joint nuts off. used a penetrant overnight, then an electric impact wrench. not one budged. so i sent everything back. mike was really nice about it.
