300e steering wheel not straight after lowering springs install

wth??? the steering wheel was 100% normal before springs, afterwards 'strait' ahead is now a 25 degree tilt,


Fact

i did drop front control arm bolts to install springs, which Im guessing messed up alignment

i did have both sides of front jacked up, but didnt turn steering wheel? (tho i had to hammer the heck out of control arms to get them into housing slots for bolts)


did i f this up? is it fixable and how so?

thx!

You probably just need an alignment. When you lower a car you can magnify the effects of any out-of-spec conditions due to slight change in camber.
