i have a 2000 2500 4x4 put and new passenger side lower ball joint and and a new track bar now m steering wheel is about 1/4 turn off is that just because the parts were that worn and now i need an alignment or is something else wrong my steering is nice and tight now

 

I did a similar patch up on my front end and had the same results, I just had mine aligned for like 60 bucks and the steering wheel was back centered and the truck drove staight and tight again. Also stopped eating front tires.
