most likely steering rack/bush, since you said just changed, maybe improper/bad installation?

also if you jack/lift your car up, does your front wheels have any free play? (try to shake/move it with your hands on the wheel. it should be rock solid, any free play means got issues and is most likely the root cause of your problems.

What if got a bit free play? What should i change?
