Default Removed LCA and car veers left

I know this has been asked before so please-I know. I just wanted to clarify.
I just took out my front LCA and installed some new bushings onto it. I put the new LCA with new bushings back into place and put everything back together. Now my car veers left under acceleration and veers right when I take my foot off. Do I need an alignment after taking out/in front LCAs? Did I throw off the camber/caster by taking off the forks? Thanks.

You threw off the toe. An alignment will fix your problems.

that doesnt sound like it has anything to do wit the toe..did u just do one side???? it actually sounds like u didnt tighten something back up..or it sounds like maybe the bushings are bad on the other side..with the bad bushings under load..(torque from the axles)..it will cause the car to pull like that..and then when u get off the gas it will cause it to go the opposite way..

I replaced the bushings on both LCAs, put them back into place, and bolted everything back up. To the best of my knowledge I didn't forget anything...

Get the car aligned and tell them what you did, so they'll know what to look for.

Did you forget to install the compression rod?
