Hi all,
I just finished my 5 lug conversion. After I bled and re bled the brakes, I went to go for a test ride and I see the steering feels really loose and it pulls to either side on its own. I know a alignment is needed but I feel like something is off. I fixed the wheel toe a little but I figured I would ask if anyone else had this issue. Thanks

If you don't find anything loose then get the front aligned and go from there.

Toe out with make it seem like it's very easy to turn and the car will feel darty.

Get an alignment. Should be 1/16" toe in with compliant (stock) bushings
