Default New Bushings?

I have a 96 S10 Blazer when im driving it pulls to the right I've checked the allignment several times it always shows good. Im wondering if i replaced the bushings in my control arms would it help at all. Hope it does cause im going through tires left and right!

Thanks for the help!

but the place that does your alignments should be telling you if they find worn parts that are causing problems. i dont know how they could give you an alignment and tell you youre good to go if the bushings were bad enough to cause a problem... where are the tires wearing?

how are you doing the alignment yourself? you can check the toe with a tape measure and whatnot but to really get an alignment (caster/camber/etc etc) you have to put on a good machine.

improper caster or camber can definately be causing problems. sloppy bushings could be part of it, but something could be bent too.

if you havent had a pro alignment done i'd say that would be the first step and go from there.
