Message:
Main problem is that my trucks pulls to the right....a while ago I replaced all balljoints, endlinks, swaybar bushings, tie-rods, and shocks. naturally I went and got an alignment. they said that they couldn't get the caster in spec but it shouldnt matter much. anyway it was fine, till a couple days later when I was backing into a parking spot at work. when I turned and backed I heard a pop and didn't worry bout it much till I drove it later. When driving home it pulled to the right, which it wasn't doing before I parked so I've been trying to find out what it is. I took it back to the shop where they did they alignment and they said it looked fine. one kid actually said one of my ball joints was bad, but I just replaced them so I doubt that was it. i've heard control arm bushings before? any ideas?? thanks guys

Swap the tires left to right, see if that changes anything.

Check the brakes and see if one is dragging more than the other. Be sure and check it hot.

Check ride height left and right.

Be sure and look at the rear end, too. Make sure it's square in the frame. Check ride height. Check for brake drag.
