offset control arm bushings

[RickSloan]

I just finished replacing my control arms, new ball joints and new offset m3 control arm bushings.

its pulling like hell in both directions and sometimes not at all...

can the offset bushings greatly effect the alignment? should i do tie rod ends and then get it aligned? will this help my issue?

You definitely need an alignment after that work. you might also need tie rods. Check for play when pushing/pulling a wheel at the 9 & 3 o'clock positions. Play along that axis is from worn tie rods. If the tie rods are worn, replace the inner & outer tie rod on both sides. Then have the car aligned.

if you've never changed your tie rods, you probably should.

but yes, the offset cabs greatly fuck up caster/toe. I'm not sure about camber but probably. you basically just relocated your wheel's center of rotation in relation to your fender. If you look, you have less clearance in the front now and more in the rear.
