Possible CV joint, or wheel bearing damage.

did you get an alignment after replacing the springs? Also did you re-use that boot thing under the springs?
Did you take off your caliper when you did them.. maybe you put it on wrong afterwards...

I don't think a caliper will bolt on, if it is not damn near perfectly lined up.
I'm sure with enough creativity, it could be done, but at that point you should realize,
shit ain't right.

If you left the struts in the car, you may have damaged the CV joint maneuvering it around, if the axle nut was not removed, and even then...

took a look and for sure the two bushings at the end of the steering need to be replaced.... no clue what they are but then ill really need an alignment.
and ill pick up some new tophats and take care of that out of my next paycheck
