Ute steering issue

Hey guys, my 1200 ute has got brand new adjustable lower control arms, caster Rods and new tie rods and it doesn't seem to want to counter steer itself back after I turn a corner. It didn't do it before I got all that stuff changed and it doesn't do it now.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Sounds like the castor is now less. Stock, there was just enough and you may have put it over the edge with the new parts.

Especially if you fitted new rubber on the tension rods, it will have changed the castor.

Have it aligned for 2.5 degree castor Alignment. It's non-adjustable, but they can cut the rubber down which will pull the castor rods forward a little. This will change the toe-in, so it needs to be readjusted too.

Ah okay. It's adjustable castor rods too so I'll just send it in for another wheel alignment then. Would it matter that I'm running -2 degree camber?
