Default Alignment off after new wheel bearings. Stumped.

Hey guys. I'm a little stumped on this one. So I had an extra set of front knuckles, I ordered new wheel bearings and got them pressed in by a reputable shop. After swapping out the old knuckles with bad wheel bearings, now my front wheels have excessive toe. I can visually see that the wheels aren't steering straight when the steering wheel is straight and the car pulls to the right. Now I'm pretty sure changing the wheel bearings or the knuckles for that matter should change the toe/alignment, so any have any ideas? The only 1 I have is that maybe driving on bad bearings for a while changed the toe adjusment. Any help would be nice

Don't over-think this. Take it in for an alignment.

Haha ya, when I read the thread I thought, 'did he take it in for an alignment?"

When you mess with anything up front, it can throw off the alignment. Get the lifetime one.

Haha. Alright, thanks guys. I just didn't think that the front knuckles would change the alignment. I suppose I should though, because I can see slight toe in the front wheels and the steering wheel is now a little off centered to get it to steer straight.
