Default Help, I'm completely stumped.

I changed the inner and outter tie rod ends, and the struts on my wife's s80 and now when I turn the steering wheel all the way till lock, it raises the car up. It also appears to be rubbing somewhere when in reverse and turning it just a little more than half way. Anyone ever experienced anything like this?

I found out what was going on. They gave me the wrong left outter tie rod and it wasn't seating correctly in the knuckle. When I put preasure on it by turning it hard over it was causing the tie rod stud to rock within the knuckle. The stud on the part they gave me wasn't as thick in diameter as the one I was trying to replace.
