Alignenment
My truck now pulls to the left side, and to keep the wheels strait, the steering wheel is slanted heavily to the right. The only thing that I can think of that caused it would be after hitting a pile of leaves it pulled haaard to the right then it i jerked it and it went away. My question is what causes alignment problems, should I stop hitting speed bumps too fast?
This is the first time it's happened, the good thing is I can get a good deal because I know someone who has an alignment shop, I just don't want this to happen more than once..

A while back my F250 4X4 had similar problems,
This is extreme, but, the bracket that holds up one the
suspension arms came loose.
The PO or someone did not put 2 bolts in that go parallel
with the body and one of the other 2 did not have a nut.
The last bolt finally gave way!
This caused a simailar problem as yours.

It bolts to the crossmember right under the oilpan. But the loose bracket on mine was for the passenger side suspension.

My Tires slanted like Stein 78's. 3 out of the 4 ball joints were bad. (repalced all 4 of course) No more pulling
