Default car pulling to the left<<

i put a sohc in my hatch while my motor is being built and now my car pulls to the left hard it didnt do it before i have some cheap coilovers that came with the car but other than that i cant figure out the prob...

i also have bad camber on the back wheels but car is at stock height and when i turn the car fells like it sways it has gsr sway bars front and back was woundering if that has anything to do with it

It is probably your alignment, if that is not the solution check to see if you have a siezed brake caliper.

Turned out being a worn front lower control arm bushing
