bought the car a lil while ago,so havent played with much yet(except for the swap )but the caliper bolt broke on the driver side when i tried to do brakes.so i heated it a hit the bolt out.the shank of the bolt was siezed,not the threads.very wierd.anyway,i think in the process i budged the caliper mount on the hub,becuase im getting a bad pull t the left.so i replaced the hub with a junkyard one.i also replaced the lower control arm and the tie rod end.but im still getting this pull.i havent gotten an alignment yet but i put the tierod the same amount of threads back on.is it possible that ive come acroos to bad wheel bearing and thats causin the pull.ive eliminated everything else i dont know where else to go.please gimme your input.

the thumping may have screwed up what alignment you had, you may need to thread the tie rod end out more. You can check for a bad bearing by listening for weird noises and by checking the temperature of the hub. If the one in question is suspiciously warmer than the other it is suspect.
