I have 2002 Acura RSX that I just had lowered with KYB struts and Eibach Pro-Kit springs. The problem that I have is that the steering wheel on the car is not sitting straight. It actually sits at about 10 o'clock. Any ideas of what may cause this. The shop that put it on said that it needs to have the tie rod ends adjusted. I wouldn't say that I don't trust them, but the other vehicles that I have lowered have never done this. Please help.

2002 Acura rsx/base K20A3

I have to agree with them.Anytime a suspension change is made the steering geometry changes the alignment must be redone.So in addition to the toe needing set properly the camber should also be adjusted back to factory specs.Some aftermarket camber kits may be required to achieve the proper alignment.A thorough check of all suspension components should be done prior to the alignment.
