Default After Changing Outter Tie Ends..problem?

Well i just changed out my Outter Tie Ends. Everything was fine up until i made a turn..I can turn either to the left or the right but it wouldn't correct itself. did i like mess things up? nothing broke...Im planning on getting an alignment tomorrow..so hopefully it fixes the issue..




***UPDATE***

Just alignment problem. all issues fixed.

tighten everything up correctly?
non-centering seems to be a caster problem.
the alignment tech should be able to tell u whats wrong

Yea I would say either you shuld hav def marked the threads or go get an alignment asap. I replaced my UCAs, installed new lowerings springs, replaced lower ball joints, and i jus got my outer tie ends in the mail. u gotta make sure everything is back in the right place and either torqued properly or tightened all the way. but the alignment tech (if its a good one) will tell u exactly wats wrong

Marking them would only give you a ball park idea of repositioning them. If they are worn then the last position would be wrong either way.
It can be caster but changing tie rods do not affect caster so it is more than likely toe'd out.
