Ok so on my 95 gst i have a real bad pulling in the rear. My camber is off abit, but i cant picture that being the problem. I talked to a friend with a 95 talon, he said he had the same problem. He said it was the upper knuckle bushings. Anyone else familiar with this problem? Any suggestions other than sell and get out of DSM’s chime in lol…  
Thanks,  
p.s. i forgot to mention that with any rain or snow its very unsafe to drive, also if im driving down the street and hit a wet patch i practically drift out of control…

How are your tires?  
Is it lowered?  
Rear camber kit IF lowered?

All important info if you want help.

your right useful thinking…  
car is lowered with real lowering springs, no camber kit yet(bought the car the way it is) tires did go bald, but pulling still happened with brand new tires…

Get the rear camber kit, that is most likely your prob. Thay are real simple, just extended bolts and bunch of shims. I would recc that you get the front kit too. But you have to get those pressed into the upper a-arms. and most importantly, get it aligned.

1st thing you would notice would be alot of clunking and noise fron the rear then. Did you even inspect everything in the rear yet?

lowering springs will fuck anything up, get the camber kit so u can actually adjust it and then get it aligned. you’re putting a lot of stress on the oem shit

The offset bushings for the front and the shims for the rear worked like butta’ for me.

Im pretty sure i heard of those bushing wearing out as well. Just jack up the rear and check it out. It should be pretty obvious and you have the other side to compare it with.

Clunking from the front especially during acceleration is usually the lower control arms. It’s only a matter of time before they go on 2G’s.

It wouldn’t be the sway bar. Mine wasn’t hooked up all last summer in the front. The car just floats a little at high speeds. Nothing too noticeable but not safe either. I had the replacements just never got around to putting them on.

I’d vote the camber kit too. Although I’m lowered and don’t have one and track perfectly straight so there’s still a chance it’s something else.

Make sure all your camber, toe and other adjustments can actually be adjusted before you go for the alignment. If they are rusted in place, the shop will give you half of an alignment.
