Post Alignment Questions

Recently installed turbo tie rods, new shocks and new tires onto my 1987 911. The tire shop did both the tires and the alignment. Now, the car steering is much easier than before and I am experiencing bump-steer that I never felt before. Has anyone experienced this after an alignment?

Thanks

Sounds like you may not have enough caster, that will certainly cause the light steering feel, at the expense of straight line stability...

Usually you get a printout after the alignment that tells the before and after specs.
Do you have it?
