I concur. I believe the front struts bolt to the steering knuckle. THose bolts are in fact a control measure to the car's alignment (hence when changing struts you *should* get the car aligned).

Keep in mind, feelings of an out of alignment car vary when they effect you (depending on where the alignment failure is). You may feel it pull when coasting, you may feel vibration while accelerating.

Putting it back to stock will probably not net you anything but a repeat of the same problem and a lot of undoing a mod you wanted anyways. Most tire/alignment shops will check it for free. Go to a reputable one and have them do a check on it as it sits (lowered). You've already been driving the car, a free check won't hurt anything and may answer this question.

 

x2. ive seen front end checks be like $15 but either way youll be saving yourself money and time

 

Unfortunately nothing free around here. You guys really think it could be an alignment issue? It starts to wobble from a crawling speed if on the throttle, even as I just barely begin to leave my driveway. Also its dead stable when coasting at all speeds. It doesn't pull to either side, it drives straight every time. No howling of tires around corners or anything. Perfect...except for vibration under acceleration. LOL. The reason I'm reluctant to have it aligned is cause every other time I've had a car aligned it came back worse and the steering wheel is usually crooked after an alignment. Good service is hard to find but if I must...

i had the same problem when i lowered my mustang gt and my silverado z71. it tweeks some thing non noticable when you do the work and is noticeable after. it is usually like a steering thing giving a wable to a bearing in a bind when it is out of tow a little newer cars and trucks after 92 are finiky i would do a alignment expecially after strut and spring change.

 

i had the same problem. alignment solved my issues. shortened dogbones were great till i added headers, then they had to come off lol.

 

It's back to stock and it's driving perfect again. Thanks for the advice everyone, but time wasn't on my side and I had to make a decision.

Especially if you lowered the whole car, then get a 4 wheel alignment done. Dropped my car with Eibach's had all aligned and it tracks like no tomorrow now. The alignment shop can even check your wheels for balance while it's there.
