But the thing your saying about feels odd whilst parking is normally due to incorrect Tracking and as you say you have changed set of arms I would imagine it's Out

Re: Brake Pipe Dilemma - please help?

If it's a rear pipe you could cut the old pipe a bit further back where they run under the car and do a join there should give you more room to do the ends ect
