      2nd gen Camaro front suspension problem

      My 73 is FINALLY back on the road after a year+ and I'm working out the last of the bugs (I hope).



      Need advice on this one:
      The car tracks straight, if I let go of the wheel on a flat road she stays the course. However, when I go over a dip (when the front suspension compresses) the car pulls to the right. The front suspension wasn't taken apart during the repair and I haven't had it realigned since the accident. Could being out of alignment cause this?

      It pulls to the same side that I was hit on.

      I'd get the alignment checked, but first look at the steering linkage to see if it's bent or maybe a tie rod end is damaged inside making it loose. Look at the idler arm too. Most have plastic inserts inside that can get split if you hit something.

      Thanks David. I checked and everything is tight and nothing looks bent. I'll schedule a front end alignment.
