Probably a silly question about the G Pulling

So lately I noticed that my G has been pulling a lot more on different types of roads. It had been pulling to the right quite a bit before i got my alignment, but it still felt like it was pulling after i got my new hotchkis swaybars on.

Would the new sway bars cause the car to pull left and right more than usual depending on the angle of the road and/or bumps?

If thats not the culprit, then maybe its something else. I've had the alignment and rotated the front tires due to some tread loss on the insides, and i can't figure out why i perpetually have to fight to keep the car on the road.

Any ideas anyone?

It sounds like you have the typical low profile tire that likes to trammel(i believe thats what tire rack calls it).What that is some tires like to follow a groove in the road or irregular road surface.The worst tires i have seen were my old bridgestone pontenza's but the toyo's i have on now dont do it nearly as bad.

That would make much more sense! I did a quick google search on trammeling with my Falken FK 452's, but i dont see any major complaints about it. do you know if Falkens like to trammel?

Falkens being an expensive tire I highly doubt would do it.

My car does the same thing however not as bad as you stated... I have Falkens also so they do grip some of the bumps in the road.
