What did I break?

Got a question for you. The Rex has been around since 87, and has never had an alignment, and has never pulled left or right. Now, it seems to drift right, even after the alignment. I can't figure out what the problem. I am thinking that maybe I broke something in the suspension. Could spinning out do this? Even if I didn't hit anything?

PS - I need to get a new tranny too. It ONLY lasted 258,400 miles

Thanks,
Mike

Possibly one tire is of a smaller diameter than the other. Swap front with rear tires or left to right or take it back to the alignment shop and tell them that it pulls which ever way and to find out why its pulling Or??????????????????????

My car does that. I've been told it's due to the very crappy wear patterns on the tires and that an allignment won't fix it. They are really worn down too.
