will bad springs affect steering?
a few months ago I replaced all of my steering components from the gearbox down. I got my alignment done afterwords, but my steering still does not seem right.
my car is very floaty, and I can feel every little bump in the road down to a pebble.
I know my springs are bad. they have sagged so much depending on how I pull into my driveway the tire will scrape the top of the wheel well. there is probably about 1inch between the tire and the edge of the fender if I was to measure.
with my springs being that bad would it be what is causing me to still have steering problems?

Yes they can. If they are that worn than they do not "rebound" correctly and there rates have changed over time. Worn shocks and springs will make your car float. When you turn they don't give the necessary resistance that they used to so you are getting the feelings that you describe.
