Steering and Alignment Issue, Help plz
Hi S2K pros...I'm a noob when it comes to cars so I was wondering if anyone of you guys can help me out.
My car seems to be steering noticeably to the right, especially when I speed up. I checked my tires and the back passenger was a little flat so I put in some air. The steering seems slightly better but 95% of the time when I speed up I feel my car dragging to the right so i have to steer it back. I'm not sure if this is an alignment issue or not because I just had my alignment done about 2 and half months ago. And I didn't hit a curb or anything to cause my car to do this, but when I had my alignment done the mechanics said that one of my "Bushing" is cracked, I'm not sure what that meant. Can anyone give me an idea of what it could be.. and if it can be easily fixed or do I have to take it to a mechanic? Thanks a bunch.

the mechanic is right then. Did he say which one or which side? Im guessing its the front right side since your car tense to steer right. Jack it up and remove your wheel. Look at all the black rubber pieces on your upper arm, lower arm and stabilizer bar and see which one has a crack.

I can almost guarantee that your FRONT pull issue is being induced by the REAR tires.
Temporarily swap the rears from left to right. If you can goes left under throttle, then you have found your problem.

You will need to get an alignment done after you fix your bushing depending on which bushing it is. Check your alignment paper and see what the warranty is. BTW, have you check to see which bushing is crack? If not, i would suggest you do so and report back that way we can help you get going.
