Alignment problem or loose A-arm?
K I did some work on the suspension and after that the steering wheel would be off everytime I make a turn and it would straighten itself after 1 min of driving. This happen to both sides so any idea? thx.

That is scary!!!
Your wheel position should never change while driving. You need to get that figured out quickly!!! Sounds like something is loose under there. Like Steve said the lower control arm bolts are suspension adjustment points. As they are turned the bottom control arm moves in and out. Those bolt need to be torqued really tight, best I remember GM spec is over 100 ft lb of torque. You can easily mark the bolts and cross member with a Sharpie and tell if the bolts have moved or are moving.
Which part of the suspension did you have apart?
