Suspension experts HELP please. Wheel alignment issue

Hello, well long story short, a couple of friends and I installed my new suspension yesterday. I am trying to take it today to get aligned, but the problem is that the front driver's side wheel wants to go left, while passenger's side is pointing to the right. They're not in EXTREMELY opposing directions, but enough to cause the tires to squeal even when I am going forward of backwards in a straight line. I am trying to find a "quick fix" so I can drive down to the alignment shop which is about 1 mile away from my house. Please help! Thank you!

that is the "toe" setting that is out. To make it better, go under the front suspension and adjust the tie rod ends. both sides will need to come in. isnt hard at all. just loosen up the nut and and adjust them in and tighten up the nut.

But if it is only 1 miles to the shop, just drive it like that. wont do any harm.
