    Weird pulling to one side when turning!????

    I have a weird situation that is really annoying and unsafe when turning. When i turn to the left only and the steering wheel starts to return to the middle towards the end of turn it stops and keeps pulling to the side. I thiught it was an alignment issue but i just got it aligned and it still does it. I have replaced the control arms, and tie rods. Thats when i noticed the pulling. I have st springs, bilstein sports, e90 drop hats. It didnt do the pulling before. After i changed the control arms it started pulling. I noticed one of the springs wasnt sitting properly i jacked the car and moved it so it could sit properly and thought that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Can a binding bearing or spring be causing the pull? How about sway bar links?
    Im put of ideas what to check?

    Did they give you a before and after on your alignment? Would be interesting to know what the castor is set to.

        Sounds like your strut mounts are binding and/or rubbing.

            You could have a stuck caliper also. Check brakes.

              I love when shops give you a print out of changed rear alignment setting and charge you for a 4-wheel alignment on a car THAT HAS NO FACTORY ADJUSTABILITY in the rear...

                Yeah i noticed that^^^ they charged me 45 to align it. When other shops didnt want to do a 2 wheel alignment. But i believe my caliper might be getting stuck thats why its pulling to the side. Im going to check the calipers today hopefully thats it.

                  There are three things in my experience that can cause this.

                  1. The calipers can stick... Been covered.
                  2. The rack can be going bad.
                  3. The strut mount bearings can be going out (this was my problem)
                  4. Bad tires/alignment.
                  5. All the above? lol

                    I have replaced the calipers and didnt solve the problem. I have no power steering, i had an alignment and didnt solve it.
                    Im suspecting control arm bushings(currently have condor bushings which have play after about 2 years) and strut mounts. I already bought the parts and just need to replace.
