hey guys my friend bought a 99 tl it was lowered on coilovers, it was driving good no problems, last week he wanted to make it stock so he put oem suspension and changed the upper control arms and now the ride is awful steering wheel is loose and it keeps making a grinding noise he went to alignment but its still rubbing anyone have this problem before?

 

So, there previously was no issues......other than the desire to go back to stock ?

Why were the upper control arms replaced ?

After a fresh alignment, one would expect any suspension problems to be uncovered by the technician working on the car, ...........especially a loose steering wheel !

Grinding and rubbing, along with a poor ride ??????

Take it back to the shop after rechecking all of the latest retrofit work recently done to get back to original. Were old parts reused ? The lowered suspension undoubtebly took a toll on existing parts such as struts, wheel bearings, ball joints, rod ends, etc.
