Vehicle flex while turning?

I just got done replacing a bunch of stuff

New steering rack, outer tie rods, lca bushings, and new jba upper arms. I don't know if I'm just not used to it or what, but I put the front tires back on the ground and when turning lock to lock to bleed the ps fluid I noticed my front end was flexing a noticeable amount while turning. I was just on my garage floor and the parking brake was on and trans in park. Is this normal?

Also when I go to get an alignment do I need to show the shop the jba booklet recommendations or do I just ask for an alignment and say nothing else?

The front end will move around when you turn the wheels while stopped, the amount depends on wheel offset and to a lesser degree alignment.

Show them the booklet and ask for 3.5* of Caster.

Did you replace the Steering Rack bushings with Whiteline or ES poly bushings?

Perfect! I received the report and it has 3.5 caster

Also no I just put in a brand new oem rack and it has rubber bushings already pressed In. It seems like its probably normal and maybe I'm just too used to my old super worn bushings from before xD. I looked things over and took for test drive and it seems to perform ok now
