You have a bump steer problem.....and it needs to be addressed....changing the rack will have no effect on the car changing lanes as you have steering input.....the twitchy steering is the results of the front wheels toeing in or out as they go up and down thru the bump and rebound cycle of the front suspension....I've seen as much as 1/2" in 1" of bump travel ....and that is when the car changes lanes ....most of the MFG's don't know anything about bump steer.....
