Could be a simple question or what but I just had the brake pads replaced on all 4s when I got it it felt a lil sluggish something wasn't right and now the steering wheel is so bad aligned I have to hold onto it to keep me from going off road, I made a U-turn and I heard a click and my alignmentagocallu fixed itself only it was ever so slightly to the left this time.. All this from replacing brake pads? What's going on

You probably got the caliper guide pins mixed up. Top and bottom, causing the front brakes to squeeze incorrectly and not let go.

Possible sticking caliper piston from being pushed back in, or some kind of interference possibly?

ok so apparently the springs are so loose in the struts (he said he has never seen them this loose>??) so when he lifted it up and lowered it they werent in there properly and they were sliding around when i turned around and thats why i heard all that clicking noise...he had to hold the springs as someone lowered the car,the car is running the bilstein struts off a evo 8 and tein s tech springs...anyone heard of this?

I have a set of those springs mounted on agx struts. The fronts are never loose, even with the suspension completely unloaded. The rears however are loose in the seat.
