I just installed Bilstein shocks and PP springs last week. When I was driving in a parking structure the other day I noticed that my tires were squeeling whenever I turned. It squeeled before the installation but when I took turns hard and fast. Is this because I didnt get my alignment done yet? How soon do I have get the alignment?

Thanks in advance.

I would say so. Your tires can get chewed up pretty fast when your out of alignment, I'd do it ASAP.

I think it is the concrete in the parking deck. Just give it a little more gas while turning or turn shap and they will bark in any car.

Alignment what that?

Right before my SAS my alignment was so bad that my tire squeeled when I turned LEFT, not right. It was embarasing!

I have to agree with it being the concrete in the parking deck, the parking deck at school is the same way. My tires squeal and I just had an alignment done not too long ago...

Get an alignment as soon as possible. Your tires are squeeling due to your lift.

Check your tire pressure. Under inflated tires will sqeal like Miss Piggy.

The tire pressure is okay.

The tires never squeeled this much prior to the lift.

Another thing that I've noticed is that when I'm driving in a straight line, my steering wheel is turned slightly to the right. I dont remember it being like that prior to the lift.

I'm going to get an alignment done as soon as possible. Do I have to align the front and the back?

Thanks for your help guys.

That right there is a sure sign you need an alignment.
Just a front end alignment should be fine unless the rear is "walking" badly (which I doubt).
