Can bad body bushings cause a pull?

[pitts64]

My 64 Pontiac needs at least 2.5 degrees more positive caster on the passenger side to keep from pulling and even then it still wants to go right. I went over this care with a fine tooth comb and can't find the cause.. Could it be bad body bushings? Rear steer with 12 to 1?

Thank you...

Honestly if you have a computer printout of the suspension readings on an alignment machine, preferably a later model Hunter with the targets that hang on the wheel/tire.
Make sure its caster is properly measured.
From what your telling us it actually sounds like a THRUST ANGLE issue. Like rear axle may be pushing car into a turn, or you possibly have a bent knuckle or steering arm.
Someone KNOWING how to read the numbers properly helps. Many alignment guys are useless in reading anything but toe or fail to remeasure after adjusting or fail to read what actually is there.
Also dont forget many of these older cars actually ran negative caster in stock form. Look up stock specs and post it up. Gorgeous car, hate to see you have issues with it.

Woah there....take it to a frame shop before you go selling your project. I had my frame issues diagnosed for $125 bucks. Then at least you know what the problems are. These full framed cars are wet noodles in an accident. If it was ever in a fender bender or anything you could have a bend somewhere that you cant see causing big issues. Sometimes its a cheap fix. I would absolutely go have the problem looked at by a good frame shop before I threw the towel in on a car that cool
