    get an alignment then make sure you have your tires properly inflated then report back...

    could be that the wheels are bent?

    Are you referring to the steering pulling with, what I'd guess from Wisconsin's shit roads, the cracks in the road?
    If so, I'd say that is relatively common in every car I've lowered. Though 4/5 of those didn't have power steering.
    So maybe I'm completely off base!

    Get an alignment done AFTER you lower the car. For the most part usually it's front toe + chamber and rear toe falling out of spec. Front camber alignment may require new bolts or aftermarket ones if your alignment tech maxes out on the stock ones.
