[tight as a bull's ass]

I took my '83 911sc to a local shop to install new Turbo tie rods, new Bilsteins, and 4 new Kumho tires.

now the steering feels just as loose (or looser) than it felt before I took the car in for service.

Could the tie-rod install have been performed incorrectly?

I've driven the car a couple hundred miles since and it still doesn't feel as tight as I thought it would.....

what's going on ? any ideas? thanks....
