RE is an unknown quantity at this point
Car pulls slightly left.

It's been 2 weeks after lowering my car and it seems my car pulls a little to the left when i have the steering wheel at dead center. Could simply unbolting the tie rod from the steering linkage and placing it back on cause this? I did not touch the adjusting screws on the steering link. I just had to borrow a tie rod seperator to hammer it off. I don't remember if my car did this before I lowered it but could this have caused it?

you should get an alignment anyways. that is what everyone recommends once the springs have settled. that way you won't wear out your tires as fast....and if you got expensive rims/tires, you might want to have them last for as long as possible...

ya, your alignments going to be off after you lower your car... if it were that easy to fix, people here wouldnt get alignments... but who knows, give it a try but i highly doubt it would fix the problem

Ok I'll try waiting a little longer to let the springs settle and seek an alignment if needed. Thanks for the help.

a badd camber doesnt make your car pull to one side but yes depending on the drop get one for the rear to save your tires

For the amount that my car has dropped, I feel a camber kit is unnecessary. I'm gonna save my cash for other stuf.
