Hey guys

I encountered this issue on my Z where taking off from a stop/red light, my car was pulling to the left even though i was holding steering wheel straight. Once it pulled more to the left, i turned steering wheel to the right, then when switching gears, it would swerve pretty hard to the right and then alignment until the next complete stop. I took it to a tire shop and they told me more than likely it could be the control arm bushings that are no good. Does this sound about right? Trying to get a 2nd opinion here. If so, is it easier to just press the bushings in or get a whole new control arm?
The BEST way i can explain it is, when riding a bike (or scooter) and the handle bars were completely straight, but the wheel was turned to the left.
However, in this case, once changing gears, the straightens out. What do you guys think. When it swerves, its pretty hard to make me not want to drive it.

Jack it up and check. Simple way to see what's loose. Could be control arm bushing, yes. Could also be tie rod ends, subframe bushings, ball joints, etc. No one can diagnose it without being underneath and inspecting.

They put it on the lift and based on what he saw, he said it was the bushings. Im just wondering if this odd behavior is normal for bushings going bad.
