Suspension parts worn out?

I have a 2000 civic, and it will pull to the right or to the left, it is random which way it pulls, could something be worn out? If it was the alignment, I would think that it would pull only one way. The roads where I used to live are so bad that the life span of anything other than a steel wheel is only about 6-9 months before it bends, so the parts have had a rough life already.

hope for it to be the bushings, try upgrading them before you get into serious money stuff.

Do you have upgraded wheels and tires? Or wider tires? it will do that cause now you have more rubber on the road and it will catch imperfections in the road pulling your car left and right.

If not then you might just need an alignment. Did you lower or change your suspension lately?

Then I would guess bad tires or alignment. How many miles on the tires?

The car only has 16k on it, and still the original tires.

Hrm I'm wondering if you have worn the shoulders or scalloped the tires enough that it will catch imperfections in the road. Did you check the air pressures? I would bump them up to 38psi front and rear.

The pressure is 35psi on all tires. As for the shoulders wearing, I make it a point to keep my tires rotated, and it's not obvious if they are worn funny, that's why I have no idea what it could be other than one of the parts worn already, but seeing as it's a 2000, that's a short life for any suspension part.

BTW, I really appreciate your efforts to try and help me.
