Steering wheel cocked right, wobbly wheel..help!
Hey guys,
I know this probably sounds weird, but tonight I was driving my car, came out of the entrance to an apartment complex (after I'd stopped extremely hard in the apartment complex - hadn't heard anything weird.) and the car wobbled, sorta like the wheel was falling off. But then I continued to drive, after I had stopped to make sure all was "well", and I have to hold the steering wheel to the right about half a turn just to keep the car going straight. There may have been some slight vibration in the steering at speed, I really couldn't tell. It was when I turned that I definitely noticed it.
The car is lowered and has an exhaust, but that's it. It sorta sounds like something in the suspension may have snapped - any ideas? Thanks guys...
Mike

Someone said that it's possible that when I had my 4 tires and alignment done last week that they forgot to tighten the jamb nuts down on the tie rod ends, thus causing a problem? Does anyone see that as being the possibility? Thanks!
