Default Steering seems kinda odd

So i replaced the entire front suspension and steering. I had the car started the other night in the garage and was turning the steering full left and right and it almost feels/looks liek the car is move up on one side then up on the other side when i turn the steering full one way or the other. Kinda like its on a see saw. I know it needs to be lined up, i havent even driven it yet. What would make it do this? I later found out the brand new power steering ram I just put in was blown (see other post i had on it). Would that make it do this?

That is caused by the caster angle.
