hypersensitivie steering (and i hate it)

Ever since I got my car, it has had super sensitive steering. You hit a small pebble and the wheel wants to pull to the side.

I'm getting an alignment done today and my tires, potenza G009's look to be in pretty good shape.

What else can i look at? My ball joins and outer tie rod ends are in great shape and I have no wiggle when I jack up the car and pull on the tires either sideways or up and down. Its just like there is no dampener on the steering whatsoever.

I had another 96 before I go this one that worked what I consider normally, no pull over bumps, etc, but this one has me baffled.

Thanks

Slag

Why don't you ask after the alignment is done? Maybe the tech will find something.
