I've already had a good search around and not found much in the way of help for this problem so I thought I'd ask directly:

Has anyone had problems with their steering going out of line since fitting FK Highsport Coilovers?
I fitted mine over weekend and since then everytime I go round a corner at any speed over 5mph the steering goes out of line. It's doing it both ways as in if I turn right, when I straighten up my steering wheel is a quarter turn to the right when I go straight, and vice versa.
I have a mate who works in a garage and he's just done the tracking for me and it's gone straight out of line again instantly, everyuthing is tight and my trackrod ends are fine.
I know it's something to do with the FKs as it wasfine before I put them on.

Anyone have any idea?

Once you lower any vehicle with any aftermarket suspension you ideally need to get tracking done and if your suspension is camber adjustable you also need to have the camber set before you get the tracking done
