Car goes one side

Hi guys, I have just replaced my control arm bush. However, the car goes to right on straight road when I didn't hold the steering... My mechanic adjusted the alignment but it still the same. Any clue?

Lots of possible reasons-

You need to check your tires- air pressures all even, uneven wear, problems with the wheels and balance.

Sometimes swapping wheels from front to back can make the pull better or worse.

Did he check and/or replace the ball joints and sway bar links? Do you have the print out of the alignment specs?
