    Memory steer

    So I had my car aligned after replacing the lower control arms, sway bar links and toe rods. I was told that I have memory steer and I'm wondering what might cause that to happen. Any suggestions will be helpful.

    Binding upper strut mounts can cause this.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      So pretty much the bearing on the strut mount that's damaged or worn out?

          Well what if it happened when I installed the lower control arm that I started noticing that?

            Was the control arm new? If not, could be a seized up ball joint. Even if it is new, it could still be seized up.

              Yeah it was new and that can be a possibility. It was super hard to move when I was installing the control arm.
