Ok, so I just got done with my rear disc conversion on my 97 dx hatch
I believe the trailing arm was from a teg and i also used my civics lower control arms.

But when I drive, my car doesn't drive straight (my rear tends to pull side to side) so i have to turn my steering wheel slightly to make my car go straight...
I really noticed this yesterday because the snow made it difficult to drive..
I have no idea why ..
and i just got an alignment yesterday too

Any Ideas?

You need to do an alignment I believe. Anything you do to suspension you need to align it.

Check the trailarm bushing.

One of the trailing arms may be bent.

alignment done incorrectly, if you took it somewhere where they know what there doing, they should have caught any bent or worn or broken pieces even before starting the alignment, they might just not have centerd your steering wheel correctly when adjusting your toe

ok im guessing that it's my trailing arm bushing are bad.. but what are some symptons for bad bushings?

if you just got the alignment, then i would say that they screwed up, tell them that it's still pulling one way.....and they SHOULD redo it for you.....make sure they know you came in the day before and got an alinment......they will know when they put it on the rack if it's still out of alignment....sometimes they will just get the numbers close and it'll amke the car drive funny...like the steering wheel wasnt aligned properly..or sometimes they just forget to check everyhting one more time...
