Front end problem.
 
So, in a nutshell….. My wife had the front tires replaced on her 05 Pacifica. They were worn down pretty severely.

Now with the brand new tires when the car accelerates and it will pull to the right and the steering wheel with twist to the left, counter clockwise. Nothing severe, just enough to make you ask yourself "WTF"? None of this happened before the tires were replaced…..

Is this a steering problem, alignment, tie rods, transmission?

C/V joint? I'm going to fix it myself, but I'm recovering from broken ribs so I don't to go chasing stuff around under the car.

Everything looks good and tight, so far. My kid was under the car and pulled on the strut and the whole thing moved 3 inches forward! The forward bushing on the control arm is gone…..

Thanks I going to replace the bushings on my 2010 300 AWD. You can't always assume the obvious, such as a warped rotors, or any other quick assumptions and you would think car manufacturers would have the due diligence, to recall low durometer bushings for replacement, for safety reasons. I would also highly recommend changing both outer steering ball joints every 160,000km, as I personally had one, fall off, while backing into a parking spot, as there bolted on, with the nut on top. Suffice to say, I believe an Angel was looking over me that day!
