Re: djm drop spindle
Yep, its the alignment. The tires are fighting each other for traction.

Re: djm drop spindle
also check that the rim is not touching the control arm when you turn ...this is a common issue with drop spindles and alloy wheels

Re: djm drop spindle
Mine did the same thing till i adjusted the toe with a tape measure so i could get it to the alignment shop.
