Installed H&R Sport Springs. Car pulls to whatever direction the wheel was turned
If I make a right turn with the wheel turned almost all the way, when I straighten out the steering wheel and car will pull to the right. Same with the left side. Just finished installing the springs today... is it just an alignment I need?

Need to get your toe fixed immediately... you're chewing up your tires also.

you need an alignment almost every time you do something to your suspension

As usual, you should let the springs settle first before getting an alignment. I just installed my coils this past Sunday also and have the same effect. The alignment will take care of it, just drive it for a couple hundred miles first though.

I've put like 40 miles on them so far and will get one really soon. Does it matter where you get an alignment? Like would Tire Kingdom be a bad idea? I'm not paying $200 for an alignment at the dealer lol |

You really should wait for your springs to settle first because if you go and get an alignment right now then after a few hundred miles your springs will drop even more and your alignment will be off again.

If you don't feel too safe about it just get an alignment. I am sure your toe can't be all that bad where it'll kill your tires within a few hundred miles. |
