Hey guys, took me awhile to get my car up on some jack stands to check it out. Got under the rear of my car after changing my oil and didn't see anything obviously broken (ie torn torque boxes, bent control arms...) but I did grab the upper control arms and noticed it took little to no force to get them to twist! I'm sure the bushings are done in the upper control arms and in the axle housing. I'm leaning twards just replacing the upper contorl arm to stock and putting spherical bushing in the axle. What do you guys think?
But now thats going to have to be put off for anther project. When I changed my oil a found a water leak!!! I chaged my water pump 2 years ago and broke 2 of the bolts off and was unable to get them out. Just used some RTV and wished for the best (MY DD). Now the grimlens are back again and I have to take the timing chain cover off.... YAY.... not... CAM maybe??? hehe

If it's an abrupt pull to the right I'd take it back and have the specs checked but if it just gradually moves to the right I'd say that's common most streets are paved with a little angle in them for rain runoff!
I had my friend recheck the alignment specs as he does alignments at his shop. He told me the front isn't perfect but it's not what is causing my problem. The rear end is definitively dog tracking as one side of my rear has positive toe and one has negative. THE REAR END IS STATIONARY so it must be a bushing. When I check the bushings in the upper and lower control arms they "look" OK but I can grab and twist the upper control arms by hand easily so I'm hoping that my problem. Can anyone else do this with their stock control arms? It's either that or the frame is somehow twisted (crossing my finders that is not the case!!! ).
