suspension or engine?

[Ur2nvmyeclipse]

my car was running ok until i took it to tuffy they put it on a hoist and when it came down the front left side started to squeek a lot. and the tires skips when i come into first gear sometimes. And tonight i was driving and i was in first it felt like the car was vibrating when i put it into gear and it did it all the way until 4th gear then it smooted right out. need some help anything would be nice right now.

sounds like somethins up with the suspension.

Well i just figured that kinda and i just got done driving it and its squeeking pretty bad. Would ball joints do that noise or is mostly springs and shocks or struts? I just bought some kyb Gr-2 shocks and struts and i have drop zone coilovers coming on monday so hopefully i can lower it and figure out whats wrong with it.
Another 2 questions it might sound dumb but what is camber ? and do you have to get an alignment after you lower the car?

camber is the angle your tires are at from front to back. rough example but // \\ is a negative camber I think and \\ // is positive. Again thats alot more extreme angles than what would be on your car.
Im not sure if you need an alignment after you lower, i would think so because of caster angle change. Dont quote me on this, I might have camber and caster mixed up a bit.

oh ok now i get it. but the alignment is just what i hear from time to time. They just say after its lowered it messes up the alignment. I was sayin before though i just dont want it to be anything but the shocks and struts that are squeeking and not like ball joints or somthing else thats wierd. Because my car vibrates when i am driving.
