If you have already done the bearings, cv joints and such...

All you need is a wheel alignment, front and back...and check your tires as well.

Same thing happened to me...

Just had a full alignment 2 weeks ago. Can't exactly switch the front tires as I have directional racing tires (came with the wheels, not my choice). I can't visually see if anything is bent but my mechanic noticed I bent the control arm the first time and checked it when I returned for the alignment. Just thought of this now: I has to be within the steering system because the car still pulls when I use my higher treadwear tires for roadtrips...

I have more serious suspension issues to deal with before I go to college in a few weeks... thanks for all the help.

were the tires balanced recently? a bad tire will be nearly impossible to balance.

Yes, all 12 of the tires have been balanced. Still pulls the same amount, same side, with any of my tires on it.

you my also want to check your radius rod on the side you hit, you may have moved it from it's seating or loosened up the lock nut, letting the the bushing give.

A friend's SI had an issue with pulling to the left. He had it aligned and it still pulled. The problem was that the engine mounts were shot. We replaced them and the problem's gone. In your case, it sounds like you lost a wheel weight, so you should have them checked/balanced.
