How the hell????

[SlidewayzS14]

So i jack up my passenger side so i can get at my skidplate easier and while im there i grab my wheel to move it to check out a possible wheel bearing problem. It moved quite a bit both left and right. i wasn't thinking at the time and figured i was just turning my wheels with my muscles, but i failed to realize that my other tire was on the ground still so i dont think i was moving my other wheel.

here's the prob: after i got my car started i took it for a drive and the steering wheel is way off and now if i swerve the car back and forth decently it chirps the tires. My suspension feels more floaty and i got a small vibration. Did i have something majorly F'd up or did i F something up? help?

A bit more info would help: car, suspension type, etc

Edit: have you hit anything recently like a pothole, curb, small child? been to the track recently? The more info, the better

maybe tierods or ends.

its an s14 lowered on eibach springs and kyb agx dampner. I haven't anything. My car was loaded up onto a bed truck and dropped off onto my driveway before i got it started again. It drove fine before the truck and bad after i got it started again. The only thing i did to affect the suspension/steering was to jack up my car and move my wheel. No, i did not drop my car hard with the jack.

Did you ake a look under the car to see if anything is hanging or bent?

seems like a bad outer tie rod lift the car up again and shake the wheel left to right again while watching the outer tie rod to see if it has excessive play.

Did you see how the tow truck driver tied down your car on the bed? Sounds like the tow truck driver wrapped the tie down strap to a suspension part and bent it... I would guess inner tie rod/tie rod ends. Some tow truck drivers don't care, and will throw the hook underneath your car, and whatever it catches on to, that's where he'll strap it down, so be careful when you get a flatbed tow truck. Tow trucks with dolly is less likely to bend suspension parts, because they attach it to the wheels.
