so i put my welded diff today.. then i take it for a drive and then i find that my car pulls hard to the left..

it had a bit of an alignment issued before i put it in(not that bad).. before it was in, the steering wheel turned to the right just a little and it hooked right too.. but now its hooking hard left but the steering wheel still angles right and im not sure if i need more than just an alignment or not.. VIP charges money just for looking at it so i was wondering if ya guys could help thanks..

have you checked your rear tires for even wear between the two?

Possible that the open end coaster wheel was out of alignment and now that its being use to put power to the wheels its making it more noticeable.

Get it up on a rack, most shops will do a free alignment check.
