Car sat for like a month i have always done all my own work but nothing major since it ran like a top...... started it up was missing on one cylinder so revved it up and the hydraulic lifters seem to have been drained so took a minute for the ticking to go away ...... also recently i replaced the bearings and tie rod end on the drivers side so put it all back together and aligned the tires best i could using alternative methods.... then took the car for a test drive and with no squealing i noticed that when i let the wheel go the sterring was straight but the steering wheel was misaligned as in being square with the dash..... curious if anyone has any ideas.....

ok first thing, What kind of car is it! What engine!?!?!? and what year!?#?$#?!!#$%!

Now go get an alignment, and see what is wrong with your front end. If it is a FWD mazda I assume you probably had to hit the knuckle pretty good to get the tie-rod out?

Please, more info
