gotta think about when you lower your car, you lower the roll center of the suspenion lower than the roll center of the body. the point where the 2 control arms of a suspension, on a double wishbone car, line up create a point that is very important in suspension geometry. when you lower a car alot the point where the suspension rolls compared to the point where the body rolls greatly increased. the only reason you don't notice excess body roll is b/c of the increase spring rates, but it creates alot more pressure on the outside tires. thats one of the major reasons why lowering a car too much makes it handle worse. it does the same thing to the steering axis when lowered. the tie rods get pushed in a little and the movement of them gets out of line with the movement of the control arms, thus, with unequal length tie rods and a really low car you get lots of bumpsteer and a crooked steering wheel. Its suspension geometry. that doesn't explain why his is crooked after changing the steering wheel though :what:
