Default pulling left. Anyone?

My LX is pulling to the left. It all started when I had it alligned. Before it was alligned not only did it drive totaly straight, but the streering was much more stiff. I have had it alligned at two different shops only with the same results, pulling left and either place could give me a straight answer as to why. The only thing that I can think of is that one time I pulled the e-brake to power slide and was stopped dead by a pot hole on the rear passanger side. Could I have bent the rear control arm? I know that my trailing arm bushings are worn. Could this be the problem. Please help.

You might have bent something BUT if it was driving fine afterwards before you had the alignment than that might not be the issue. I was about to guess going to another place to get an alignment but youve already gone to two.

Look at the alignment spec sheets for yourself and see if they are correct. How are your tires? Was it windy while driving?

Not windy. Looked at the spec sheet and all 4 were in tollerence. After the pot hole I heard a slight hum from the rear. New pro tires at the time of the first allignment.

Replace the trailing arm bushing. Totaly rotted. Got another alignment and straight as an arrow.
