Having some problems with the car.. before, i had on some ponys and it hangs to the left a little but didnt really bother me all that much. you let go of the steering wheel and it hangs to the left. i though i just needed an alignment. i dont think it did this before when i got the car, or maybe i just didnt noticed it. now i have on some 18" wheels which are much heavier and it hanged to the left by a lot. you have to hold on the the steering wheel slightly to the right to go straight. and whenever you hit a bumpy road, the car steers side to side pretty crazy. once again, it did this before but not as bad. i brought it in for alignment and they told me its been hit and needs the left control armed pulled. it still pulls to the left but not as much as before. i had a buddy, which is very good with mustangs look at it and he said everything looks normal underneath. what is the problem? tire wearness? keep in mind this was like this before but not nearly as bad.

check your bushings heavier rims are hard for a worn out bushing to keep the steering wheel straight.. I had to replace my rack & pinion bushing after i got rims.

Sounds like you have a problem with your suspension. If the aligntment shop is reputable (and routinely does front end repairs) then I would probably listen to their advice.

im thinking of bushings because the old bushings are old and the rims are heavier, a bump steer kit for that swaying when you hit something, and cast camber it to correct the tires.

Check the air pressure in the tires as well.

my danger ranger pulled hard to the right. i put new brakes pads on the front and my brother noticed the caliper pins were pretty worn on the passenger side. replaced them and it drives nice and straight now.
