Thats what it sounds like to me. Your drivers side is a little to tight. I have the Z10 bar on mine and I never ran into this problem, but then again I made sure they were both even...

i double checked and thought they were pretty even. ill check agian this weekend i guess.

as for allignment i was hoping i wouldnt have to do that cause every shop here is a total joke and since my car is lowered they charge me a mod fee which ends up costing me 113 bucks for an fing 15 min allignment

unless the bar itself was welded crooked it should be fine(this is the bar that uses the stock radius rods right?) you cannot overtighten the radius rod bushing there is a metal sleeve inside to prevent that. just get an alignment and if caster is different than before the bar was made wrong

yeah you need to get an alignment. if there is a firestone near where you live, they have a lifetime alignment deal for like $160.
