Tie rod help

I have a 72 C20 Suburban that has a problem driving in a strait line. All of the front and rear suspension and steering components are tight. It has a new gear box, springs, shocks and tires. Also there is no play at all in the steering. It has been aligned by two different shops, but it keeps wondering to the point that it is scary to drive.

I just discovered that the tie rods do not have that 20-30 degree of rotation that they should have, in fact they have no play at all.

So my question is could this cause the tie rods to bind and induce some sort of bump steer??

Re: Tie rod help

I wanted to add that all parts are stock, so now lowering spindles or springs.
