Is this at ride height with engine in, etc?

If so you'll need to use the eccentric adjustment on the lower arms and/or proper spacers on the UCA mounting points to get it close and then trailer it to an alignment shop for a true alignment.

If the car is unloaded up front you'll have lots of top wheel tilt due to the suspension geometry. You have to have it at ride height to check alignment.

I had the same problem but you might as well just trailer it to an alignment shop, I shimmed my upper arm out to correct it and tuffy took the shims out and reshimmed it anyways (extra cash).

You just worked on the suspension.
You need an alignment.

Have you rolled it back and forth yet? You need to do this once it is back on the ground to make sure it is not in a bind. The suspension hangs down and when you let it down the tires will catch and keep it form settling. After that get, it aligned as suggested above.
