1. check the steering rack to make sure there's no broken mounts.
2. check rear suspension as well - any tell tale tire wear?
3. check wheels for play - do with one wheel up at a time, then with both..
4. was the alignment done after replacing the control arms and tie rods? I also assume the ball joints were part of the replacement controls arms?
