I just came back from fixing that klumping/thumping noise that I had after installing springs, turns out I didnt quite put the upper strut mounts on correctly. But its all good, its fixed now. But as I reached my house, I noticed that in order for the car to steer straight, I have to have the steering wheel turned a little to the left!! Wasnt like that until the car came out of the shop! Any indeas to how it became like that? Did them machanics do a bad job and messed up the steering?! Didnt really feel like driving all the way back at where I used to live so just went to some shop that TireRack.com recommended. Is it just an alignment problem? Dang, go to the shop to get the car fixed and come out with another problem!! Please help, thanks.

 

I think it is the alignment. Whenever you install struts or springs you should always get an alignment. Same thing happened to me.

 

A simple wheel alignment would do the job.
good luck

Take it back to whoever did the alignment. They didn't have the steering wheel centered when they adjusted the tie-rod ends.

 

Thanks for the info, so just an alignment problem? Not too much of a deal, I'll go back tomorrow and get it fix.
