just noticed today that my steering is starting to twitch to one side. its only while moving and only to the left. how fast it jerks is dependent on vehicle speed. my power steering is disconnected (belt not installed) so im kinda confused.

check your tires. Swap your fronts to the rear. See if it goes away. Could be a bubble in the tread or something along those lines.

after looking at it more, it apears to be the axels. i know they need to be replaced cuz the boots are destroyed, i just didnt realize they could mess with the steering that bad. ill replace them when im not broke anymore

That is what happens with a broken boot, after enough dirt has gotten in, and grease gotten out. It will get worse and worse, until it becomes undrivable, or fails outright.
