    325e pulling hard to the left.

    hey guys, i was driving one day and i was feeling a horrible vibration and when i pulled off of the road, my drivers side rear wheel came off. i know i know its a stupid thing i shouldve checked but it is what it is. once i got the wheel back on and when i drove it home the car was pulling really hard to the left. when the wheel fell off, one of the lug bolts bent and the wheel was sitting in the wheel well, so the car didnt hit the ground. when i got it home, i replaced the rear axle, spindle hub, and the wheel bearing. after i got all of that done, it was still pulling hard to the left. so far i have replaced the front control arms, front control arm bushings, and the tie rods (all showing signs of wear). the car does fight me a little bit when i turn to the right. does this sound like a front strut mount that is no good, or a bent trailing arm? maybe a bent rear subframe? am i on the right track or am i way off? any insight would be appreciated.

    The first think to do is to put the car on an alignment rack and get the numbers for all four wheels. That will tell you where the problem is.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
