Hey guys, recently I had my buddy come down and help me do a bunch of work to my car. We replaced the clutch as the throw-out bearing was making noise. Both clutch and bearing were still in decent shape which was nice to see. New clutch is stiff, and new bearing still makes the same noise, like its barely touching the pressure plate. Oh well. My main question is about my suspension. I replaced everything up front except for the inner and outer tie rods.I picked up a kit on amazon that had everything in it, however due to time constraints we did not change out the tie rods. They felt good, the ball joints on the end was still reasonably stiff. Ball joints were replaced in the knuckles as well.Everything was oem style parts, nothing aftermarket. The front loaded struts I used stated they were for a coupe, not sedan, but afaik it's the same? When we tightened everything, we had the knuckle under compression, just to the point it was wanting to lift the car off the jack. Rear struts were also replaced, oem style as well. Springs in the rear were left alone. Last variable was I rotated my tires, which I hadn't done in a while. I took right rear and put it on front left, and same with the other side. It has no inclination to want to self center now, and it feels very heavy, like its binding up. We turned the wheels back and forth a bunch while up in the air still and everything moved freely. I haven't gone in for an alignment, but I didn't replace anything that would need it, so for now that will be a last option. Did any of the inner bushings need to have anti seize on them? We didn't add any, as everything was dry when it came off. I've driven about 150 miles since it was done, and it has not improved at all. My buddy thinks I could have negative caster as a result of possibly shorter top strut mounts. Help guys!

 

Get an alignment.

 

You should have an alignment after any work to the suspension

 

You need an alignment after turning wrenches on suspension, period. Any guess is not good enough sadly.
