I just now replaced both lower control arms and both outer tie rod ends. And now the steering wheel is not straight anymore. Also there is a vibration. I know I need to get it aligned but can anyone help.?
Thank you.

Was the vibration present before the work was done?
The person doing the alignment may be able to see the problem and help with a diagnosis and solution.

it was making sounds like something was loose before. I checked it and the tie rods were bad and the lower ball joints were bad. I also have changed the stabilizer links a while ago. The problem used to sound like the links were bad and that went away now i have another vibration that is there when i first push the gas.

Sometimes a vibration can be from a cylinder misfire and also a cv joint . If it is caused by a driveline problem, the person doing the alignment can usually spot it.
