I remember when I was doing autox weekly, I replaced everything with different parts…all new
The final thing I had to chase was wobbly steering.
I could feel it even more amplified with all the race suspension.

It turns out that steering racks don’t last forever, and steering u-joints also do not have unlimited lifespans.

Check the basics, tie rods, ball joint and bearings.
Upper strut bearing/rubber

Then check for any play at all in the steering wheel to steering rack….and then the ring /pinion inside the rack.
I had to rebuild that piece, and replaced a few ujoints.
Btw, make a note (picture) of all steering ujoints while steering wheel is straight….it matters when you got put it all back together.
