Default car issue

Recently (as in last week), I just lower my car and threw some camber arms on. Just last night my car started acting strangely. When I would go passed 45mph my steering wheel would feel light and i could feel my car swerving left and right. Today went to go check the air pressue it was a little low but pump it up notice there was a small slit on the edge of tire. After pumping my tires at the gas station drove home the steering wheel started acting up again car swerving and now i hear the tire screetching! Does anyone know the problem

Did you DIY or have a shop do it? If a shop did the work, park it until they re-open. If you did it, then time for a DIY fix. Start by taking off the wheel(s) where you hear the noise coming from.

How long are you? Gotta pic? Are you sure you're not rubbing on the fender liners?

My friend and I were the one that install the coils and camber.For sure it not rubbing because i had the front rolled and rear shaved. The noise is for sure coming from the tires.

Default its rubbing.

if there is a slit or cut on your tire. its rubbing. double check all the nuts and bolts and tighten down again.

i wouldn't drive on that. you should jack up the car and see if the tire is damaged at all and work backwards.

Thanks for the suggestion everyone! Found the problem already. Some how the toe arm bolt wasn't tighten and it made the rear tire to pull inward causing the car to swerve from the rear. Probably wont drive the car till the shop slap on my wheels and give me an allignment.
