Steering rack repaired but now the tires squeak every time I turn.

I have a 2002 Acura TL Type S and I recently replaced my Steering rack and when I got on the freeway, I noticed that tires started squeaking really loud. I stopped and checked but I didn't see anything hitting the tires.

I don't know what to check for honestly. So any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking your time to read this (:

please explain in more depth.
squeaky tires are a sign of worn out tires, or tires that dont have traction.

Can you explain the sound issue a little better? Its kind of vague.

So you replaced the rack but did you get an alignment right afterward?

Definitely need an alignment if you didn't get one. Not really optional with rack repair/replacement.

If everything is the same as before replacing the steering rack, then it is more than likely screaming for an alignment check as Karanx7 previously recommended. Make sure that everything is tight and that the tires are properly inflated. How bad did the old rack do in your tires ?
