Default I need your help guys!

Hi, i have a question guys, about 6 months I got a prokit installed on my mustang as well as and alignment. My question is i bought a set of black bullits which look really nice btw the only problem is the left front wheel stick out just a bit more than the right one and the left rear wheel stick out a bit more than the back left wheel. Also if the steering is straight the car goes to the left. Will this mean that I need an alignment will this fix the the wheel tire issue? Please help me. BTW my dealer charges $70.00 for an alignment.

Possibly, but why are you going to a dealer? They always rip you off. Just go to a local shop as it is pretty hard to botch up an alignment. Just call up some local shops and see how much they charge. The ones around me are all 50-60 dollars tops and they all do a very good job. FYI, my car has never had an alignment (77.5k miles) and it still tracks perfectly straight and the tires are all wearing perfectly.

this happen since the springs were install, I will get more rates as well, do you think that the wheels are these way because it needs alignment will this fix it? cause I don't want to spend the money and that my wheels look the same as now.

If you drop the car enough it could happen. You may need Camber/Caster plates to fix the issue. I say get it looked at by a competent mechanic and see if he recommends C/C plates.

Rear ones I'm not 100% sure as there is nothing to align in the rear on the car. Could be the way the wheel was manufactured maybe. try switching them and see if it sticks out on the other side or if the same side sticks out. Just a suggestion.

Sounds to me like the car was crashed and the body is shifted. Or somebody tried to make it a NASCAR oval track racer!!!!!
