Steering wheel loose after suspension changes

I waited about a week for my springs to settle before I did my alignment. And yes it is enough to mess up the alignment.

Thanks man, i didnt think id notice it so fast! I guess ill just have to wait for a few days before i take it back. Also going to talk to the shop about it, because if this is the cause, i dont know why they even bothered to align it in the first place, as i am not paying to realign it when i go back.

No you shouldn't need to pay them for re-alignment check or adjustment.

Do you have the alignment work sheet numbers that you can post so we can see how is your camber and toe numbers.

the car is sensitive to ride height. chances are if your installer didn't align it, it would feel even worse today.

i would give it a week or two before you take the car in for re-alignment.

springs takes a few weeks/hundred miles to settle.
