can a shot LCA bushing on the drivers side cause the car to drift to the right? just put on new tie rod ends and had alignment done. the tires seem ok but i was thinking it could be that too.

swanton bomb avator. sick. haha. i've always thought tire pressure, tie rods, and having an alignment done would do wonders but i guess if it is still not straight it could be something like that.

i would say yes... but if u just had an alignment done they should have caught that.. when my lca bushings went it pulled to the right but it was the right side that was bad not the left side on mine.. if they are gone and u get new bushings put in make sure u have another alignment done

i forgot about tire psi, but yeah i checked and set that to where it needed to be. the bushings are the last thing i need to replace as far as the front end is concerned and i'm doing those next weekend, so i'll have to wait and see what happens and go from there i guess.
