So I'm trying to see what angle your guys front control arm is in relation to the ground on a super low car. Mine is nowhere near parallel. Any pics are appreciated

to fix and get your arms back into where they need to be, either up the mounting points on the control arms, like the granetlli, maximum or griggs k member have, the upper an lower mounts are for the dual purpose mounting spots to correct that, or the longer steed ball joints can help as well. if your arms are higher at the ball joint side your alignment well be all over the place while driving normal conditions. they should sit a tad bit lower ball joint side considering your suspension travel.

your way off bump steer prob makes hard turns quick! by how off just visually it is its the worst ive seen lol. sway bar out of alignment as well, tie rod almost at it limits of swivel as well. u can drill the upper a arm bolts as well i inch up before i think u have to clearance the arm, if u add the spring isolators and the steeda x ball joints that well help a bit. then a serious bump steer kit well fix the wheel jerking over bumps, then a lot shorter end links on the sway bar well get the sway bar side arm back to parallel. is that a real pic of your car right there? your ready for a lot better k member and coil overs. whats the car look like?
