Just did a 5 lug swap for first time, car drives a bit loose. Any ideas why? The handling is very loose, do i have to get it alligned? Not sire on this need opinions. When i drive it the steering is very loose. Thank you

what parts were used? If you used sn95 front spindles your toe would be so far off the car would be completely undriveable until the tie rods were adjusted about 1" on both sides, lol

Ya needs alignment
Don't drive too much if the from toe is out a lot u will eat up the front tires quick!
Always good to check on a regular basis anyway especially after front end work
