Problem With Eibach And Tokico
i recently bought the eibach springs along the tokico blue struts. after they were installed, i ran into a problem that no one seems to have the answer for. When i turn the wheel, either sharp or just making a right or left on a side street, when i straighten the wheel back out, it gets "stuck" to the side that i just turned "kind of like my alignment is off" but then if i turn the other way, it then gets stuck that way!!
someone please help me and tell me whats wrong.

Just a quick guess...
It sounds like you have way too much castor. If your not familiar with this term, it refers to an alignment specification. Do the front struts look like thay are set too far back (towards the back of the car) at the top? Double check your strut installation on the front.
Hope this helps,

neglected to tighten at least one nut. This nut backed off over time
and the suspension became sort of loose. If I accelerated, it would
pull to one side, and when decellerating, it would pull to the other side.
Check that all fasteners are tight and observe the action of the
front suspension as someone turns the wheel back and forth while
the car is stationary to see if anything is shifting. It could even be
a loose steering rack.
