Hello,

I just changed my driver side lower control arm. The original control arm had a completely worn out bushing (the one closest to the rear).
Now, the car pulls hard to the right and keeping the front wheels straight translates into a steering wheel turned about 10° to the right.

Is there anything I could have done wrong that could cause the car pulling to the right?
If I switched the front and rear camber bolts on the control arm (I am using the original ones and my understanding is that they don't do any camber adjustment anyway), is that an issue?

I know for a fact I screwed up and tightened the bolts with the wheel up. I am getting the car on the jack tonight to do it properly: loose the bolts, drop the car on the wheel, then tighten with a torque wrench.

Aside form the above, all I can think of is that the alignment was previously made with the bushing already worn out, and putting a new control arm in changed the whole alignment...

Any thoughts?

Alex

PS: I do not want to take it to an alignment shop yet, as I know for a fact that the center link needs to be changed also and is most probably bad enough that no shop will do an alignment on this car.
