Default Car pulls to the right

My car has a slight rear end pull to the right upon mild acceleration.

Would this be a symptom of a bad sway bar bushing or maybe the trailing arms bushings?

Any other ideas?

Car is an 89 Z51. I have banski camber rods and VB&P camber brackets. I just purchased and am having the banski trailing arms installed in the next day or two.

Have you checked your shocks? Another member had a similar issue and the shock was blown out.

Also check your tire psi.

You need a good mech to do a four wheel alignment.
Don't let him compensate for the road crown.
Make sure all the numbers are within half of what the book calls for in tolerances.
And make damn sure the thrust angle is ZERO. Anything other than 0 is unacceptable.

Of course check all the bushings, joints, TP and rod ends for play.

Bad U-joints could also be a problem.
