Steering is too light on high speed..

Hi, steering feels too light recently on the high ways (+80mph). Doesn't feel safe.. Not sure what can be causing this. Feels really light.. no noise, no smell. No leaks. Tie rods are new, front brake disks/pads new, but this started even before. Not sure where to start looking.. pls help with an advice..? Thanks !!

I have found a huge difference if the wheel alignment is out even by a small amount. Mine felt light until this was corrected. Have you had 4 wheel alignment done after the tie rods etc changed?

I was under impression that steering becomes heavier when on speed. So I start thinking of different potentialities.. E.g. I did few strong braking and seems like wheels are locking while I would expect a bit more from Abs. As well, when offroading I turn on Dsc, maybe somth rides there..? No strange errors after IID scan..
Only here I can get the direction..Pls advice
