Help with steering knuckle!!!
Just finished installing my front right side steering knuckle. The thingy that connects to the upper control arm. Yay my wheel isnt tilted anymore! No more inner tire wear! But after that, I found a MUCH worse problem. I took it for a test drive, and all I hear is 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" The sound that you get when you're auto crossing, meaning the tires LIGHTLY squealing on the ground. and the steering wheel moves left and right VERY easally. Its both wheels fighting to go straight. I was like HOLY SHIT. After pulling up to my drive way, I put it in park, straightened the wheels, and holy shit! One wheel is straight and one is a lil turned outwards. VERRRRRY noticable! If I drive it like this my tires will wear out in under a day. I understand that you need to re-align but, could me replacing this cause my alignment to go way out of wack? My old steering knuckle was bent so im guessing the car was aligned to that bent knuckle. I'm scared!
 I cant even drive it to the alighnment place. I need it towed or I'll crash maybe. do you think I could at least adjust it to where the wheels look straight at least? I know there is sort of a nut that you turn to adjust the wheels left and right. Actually, I'm gonna try that now. Brb. Any help is needed! Thanks!

Help me please! I adjustted the alignment and now its much better and they LOOK straight now. I'm getting it aligned on monday. Damn, the handling improved by like 600% only because the suspension is super stiff on that side and doesnt really bounce. I dont know why, I think I mis tightened something there. It feels weird with super stiff suspension on the front right end. I know I tightened something wrong or didnt tighten it enough. one side I could push and the car moves up and down like normal, but the other side I worked on, it moves like half an inch or almost nothing at all. What did I do wrong?? :-( if I didnt tighten a ball joint right, could it cause this?
