Alignment issues? Help!

I just recently ordered new struts. Kyb's. They came in and a friend of mine and I installed them. Once we were finished we took it for a drive to see it how it. Very nice and not too stiff. After takin a left and trying to go straight my car wants to drag me to the left still. Vice versa when i turn right. Does anyone have any ideas on what could cause this? Any help greatly appreciated. I really cannot think of what it is. We have taken the tires and everything appeared correct.
Thanks for any advice.
Kenny.

Yea if it doesnt stop I was planning on it but after driving it a little bit more I think it might have settled in a little bit better and is not doing it anymore. We will have to see.

Still have to go and get an alignment anyways. Whenever you do major suspension work, you have to eventually go get an alignment. That's just how it is.

you should get an alignment any time you change suspension components. I guarantee your specs are WAY off.
