Ok well i recently hit a curb on the driver side pretty hard, i bought a new lower control arm and put it in, 2 new shocks and struts, and had it aligned, and now it cuts to the left harder than when i was driving it home after the hit
what else could i need to replace?
BTW: The whole driver side hit, front and back tires were flattend
i only replaced the lower control arm because the other one didnt look bent

Who did the alignment, and did they give you the print-out of the "Before" and "After" figures.
Somethings definitely wrong, and those values will tell me what.
Generally, uneven Camber values between the L & R Front and Rear wheels will cause a definite 'pull'. Look for either the left front wheel tilted out, or the right front wheel tilted in at the top.
I would certainly hope they did a 4wheel alignment.
Check that you don't have a brake caliper hanging up (Binds in the applied position)

in many occasions i have seen the beams bent, when hitting curbs..have the ft + rear beams checked..altough if bent you cannot get alignment into specs they would be way off..,,,
Did people that do the alignmet say that it was in specs??
