Spent today trying to get my Z aligned after replacing balljoints and wheel bearings.
Took it for a drive after an attempt and the steering was suddenly very light. The car does not have power steering som Im not sure what to look for.

Lots of toe out? Were you monkeying with the strut rods and got caster way out of whack?
Too little caster will make the steering very light. Double check the toe as well.
As far as setting caster at home, on a lot of cars, you can just go by feel. As long as it tracks straight and feels good, the caster is "correct".
Its unlikely that you got camber off, but higher camber makes the tire pivot on the inside or outside of the tread instead of the whole patch being on the ground.
Toe being off usually shows up as being light on center when moving but harder the closer you get to lock
Front tires lost traction 
The only thimng that can be adjusted is toe. It does get tighter as you get towards lock so Im guessing I got the toe settings really far off. Goong to have it done at a shop so I have some baseline measures for next time.
