Steering issue 08 fit

I just acquired my second fit.

had numerous clunks and stuff in the front end, everything was worn out

replaced inner, outer, strut, axle, control arm on both sides

car was harder to turn to the right and easier to the left, and pulled to the left

i was hoping that changing all this fixed it

unfortunately it’s still persisting

the place that attempted the alignment, says that it seems like the rack maybe?

anyone have any ideas, or seen this before. Also no eps light or dtcs for steering

I had a clunk that I'd feel in my steering wheel when going over small bumps or road imperfections at low speed - car tracked straight so it wasn't alignment.
It went away when I replaced the swaybar endlinks and the outer tie rod ends (my car was at about 210k km).
Just went with Moog replacements.

Hope that helps!

Replaced all that based on my research I think it needs a steering torque angle sensor relearn, I pulled the number two 60A fuse for eps and it stopped pulling dealer wants 150 to reprogram the sensor
