have a 94 nissan 300z manual n/a two sweater. Just brought it and hand to change the driver side lower ball joint and lower arm. Had alignment done but it still pulls a lot to the left. Sometimes if I turn slowly to the left the wheel will try to stay turn while the right side responds to the steering. Any advice welcome I think the left side may have run over a curb or something

What the alignment sheet say after it was done was everything able to be brought back to spec?

This sounds exactly like the problem I had with my Power Steering Rack bushings. They were so gone, they fell to pieces as I loosened the PS rack. Sloppy sloppy steering, and when I turned left, the wheel wouldn't recenter properly, and when I turned right, it would. http://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/des ... .164.62.64

With the front end off the ground you can grab a wheel and check for steering rack play. Bad bushings would definitely cause issues and if the car aligned fine is likely the issue. Otherwise a bent tension rod lower control arm etc would cause issues but should be visible and show on the alignment sheet.

Nexen N3000 and Fuzion ZR1s are the only ones making tires for the stock rear size. They're relatively cheap, ~$100/tire.
