So an update on this: I've had two alignments, got a new factory wheel and tire, and had my summer tires rebalanced and remounted. Even with the summer tires on, I'm still seeing the car pull gently to the right when I step on the gas. It's an annoyance when cruising, but when driving aggressively, it feels dangerously unpredictable. The car straightens out as a let up off the throttle, and pulls lightly to the right when I step down.
I have an appointment on Monday to have the tie rod, lower control arm, and associated bushings looked over. Even if they find nothing, I may just have them replaced them for piece of mind anyway.
How likely is it that a high speed impact strong enough to blow out the tire could've also damaged a tie rod or control arm (or bushing)? Anything else that I should have them look at? Wheel bearings? Upper control arms (do we have upper control arms)?
