UNDRIVABLE

My 63 needs help!! 63 Sports Coupe I put on Granada brakes and had the toe set. Was driving great stayed straight on the road cornered great now I can't keep it in between the lines. In the morning on the way to work it drove great and when I left for lunch it drove like crap. It has new leaf springs and I took the rubber isolaters out of the springs. I have them centered on the axel and have the spacers to hold them there. I have left and right upper balljoints and the right lower balljoint there is no play in the left lower balljoint, checked tierods inner and outer, have new pitman arm and new centerlink. I checked the lower control arm bushing and upper control arm bushing. New strut arm bushing, new sway bar bushings and link bushing on the sway bar, new front tires. I took it to get an alinment and told them to double check the front end they found no loose parts and alined the front end caster and camber and toe. It drives the same ...Don't know what to do now.

It is alignment is right on it was driving the great and then it went south and I went to have it realigned and it drives the same. I haven't checked the steering box yet but there is no play while chceking with it parked but I know things chcnge when you drive it.
