What could be wrong

Alright everyone I got a question I've noticed today when I'm driving around an I come to a stop that the car pulls to both sides its like I really have to hold on to the steering wheel to keep it straight what could cause this I put all new rotors an pads front an back also the car has new brake hoses front an back as well why is this happening could it be that I need new calipers since that's the only thing I have not replaced yet

Sounds like you need new tie rods. Better get those done before one goes at higher speeds.

Yea I know there is quite a bit of play in the steering when I shake the tire left an right so looks like those will get replaced when it comes off the road in a couple of weeks
