Remove lugs from old wheels, pull them out. Install new wheels and tires and tighten lugnuts. How would that mess up the steering?
Could it be new tire squirm? |
A big clue: Crappy wages. The kids mounting tires don't make squat, the shop pays them dirt because they don't 'fix' cars. Busting tires and LOF (lube, oil & filter) don't make the shop money, it's the bigger jobs that pay. The FNG at the shop gets the crap job of tires & LOF, he has to 'pay his dues' to get to make real money. He don't give a flip if he dorks up the tires & wheels.
If you had no play in the steering before you swapped tires & wheels, and you have play now... the problem is in the tires and wheels. Either they put the wrong ones up front (presuming you are running a staggered set) or they dorked up the install.
