You must take the car to a shop that specilizes in,or has good equipment in frontend alignment!!----however, when you have a bad tooth, I guess you could pull it yourself!!

use a flashlight and look at the bushing, is it cracked or separated? replace in pairs. Be sure to check those ball joints too!!!! Good luck!!! Bushing tool part http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/311335106805?lpid=82&chn=ps
