well 2 days ago i changed my rack and pinion. everything went fine
i installed the energy suspension tension rod bushings, front ES sway bar bushing and, ES rack and pinion bushing.

my problem is when im driving my steering wheel is VERYY tight, when i make turns it kinda like doesnt want to center its self or "counter steer" fully to center ill have to do it myself.
could it be front the tension rods?? my dad tightend them VERRYY STOOOPPID tight at the 17mm bolt.
ANY input would be awsome.

There is an adjuster on the rack near where the shaft enters it that changes the amount of friction on the rack.

It's a 12mm, try loosening that a bit.

did you fully bleed/circulate the power steering after?
