HELP ! Steering troubles.....

I have just installed my new tokico Illuminas and RB springs and had the alignment done today(Thursday 04/22/05) The problem is as follows:
When I am driving the car, there is a "wobbly" feeling that transfers up through the steering wheel that increases in frequency with speed. This "wobble" gets noticeably worse (horrible) when I turn left. I honestly have no idea where to start with this...
Any help would be extremely helpful.

put the front tires on the back, and see if that changes the position of the wobble.

Does it feel like a left to right, side to side wobble? If so, then you probably slipped a belt and need a new tire. Good luck...

Check the lug nuts and everything else you had to remove to get up in there for tightness, retorque everything just to be sure
