PLEASE HELP ! (Bad Steering)
I need your opinions !
About a month ago i took my 2005 XC90 in to get an alignment done and i was told they couldn't do the alignment because i had bad front control arms (which also explained the rattling i heard in the front of the car). So yesterday we replaced both front control arms and now when i turn my wheel to the left, it doesn't come back to center. I can take my hands off the wheel and the car will go around in circles until i force the wheel back to center. Another problem is when i start to break, the car jerks REALLY bad to the left (if i want to drive straight wile breaking, i have to hold the wheel to the right). And when i let off the break it jerks back to going straight. We thought that the new control arms would fix the rattling and now its even louder plus both of these new issues. Does anyone know what it would be.
I was a lot of people saying alignment but this seems to be acting far to severe to be just an alignment.
Please Help!?

Update
I took it into a mechanic that works on foreign vehicles.
When he drove it he said it felt the brake on the right side wasnt working. After he looked under the car and took the wheel of he said the problem is that the left control arm was faulty, and I need a new stabilizer bar to stop the creeking.
