My car pulls to the right

Just recently my car started pulling to the right quite a lot. I hadn't hit any gutters or anything. Is this most likely a wheel alignment problem, or could it be something like the original 22year old rubber bushes giving way and collapsing? We had a quick look at the bushes we could see, but they didn't look bad.

I'm just asking if there is something common that breaks or something on gem's that would cause it to pull right.

I have a TE.

i have sort of the same question- my car pulls to the left even after an alignment- on closer inspection i found that it has had a decent sized accident on the left at some time, any connection? cheers.

1) check ya tyre pressures, make sure there even the whole way round

2) check for uneven wear on the tyres/replace where necessary

3) do you have the same tread pattern on all tyres, of not that will make ya car vibrate/sterer poorly

4) go to bob jane and explain to them your problem, they aligned and rotated my wheels for 20 bucks

hope that helps
