ball joints
I just installed a front suspension rebuild kit from corvette America which included sway bar links, tie rods, tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, and lastly the upper and lower rubber bumpers. I got it realigned and now when ever i make a sharp turn the wheel gets cocked and stuck at a weird angle and while one tire is straight the other is pointing outward, So whats up with it?

Now that's a BAAD alignment.
I suspect they forgot to tighten up a few things....
I would not drive it, but would call the shop that did the work and have them pay for a rollback to haul it to the shop.

Something is VERY wrong and the shop that did the work better pay to have it towed back. If it left their care like that then they F'ed something up.

Definitely call them and e-mail the pics. Since you installed all the hard parts....not sure who's fault it is. That's dangerous stuff that could someone hurt bad!
I'm sure the issue is very obvious if you look under it. Can't be too hard to find. Might look closely before screaming to them.
Let us know what you find.
