Question type: Maintenance & Repair

95 mercury grand marquis. I recently replaced the upper and lower control
arm, bushings and ball joint as well as the linkage bar. Now, it feels like the
tire is slipping sometimes. Its worse when I turn.

The brake calipers are ok. The driver side tire has a little wear on the outside it. And the steering rack, has started squeaking when I turn the wheel. The "slipping" feeling comes from the passenger front tire area. And it is not all the time just every once in a while. (You know how it feels when you ride a bike and turn the corner, and maybe the front tire hits a rock or some sand and it feels like it slips on it, but it's not enough to make it slide completely and you fall? That's the slipping feeling I get.)
