Default HELP! CAR IS PULLING

hey guys, i have an 07 s2k. she has 91k on her and i can tell you that she is far from a trailer queen. The car is having and issue . every time i accelerate, she is pulling to the left. it only happens during acceleration,not during crusing. the tires are alright, they all have proper pressure. This all happened when i changed my old rear tires, they shop told me a rim was bent. she started pulling. when i changed the rim, it stayed the same. i even replaced the tire again. idk, i went to a shop and they told me that they believed it was a bushing but would not tell me which one. i know the problem is the rear. Also, out of curiosity, i lauched the car out of the dig and i saw that she was still pulling hard to the left when it was spinning. . i NEED HELP. BTW NOTHING IS BENT . what bushings could cause this problem ?

Alignment is not the problem.

Your rear tire pressures are not the same, or one rear wheel is worn more than the other, or the rear tires are different brands. Guaranteed.

its not tire pressure. i check it every couple of days. yes, the two rear tires are diffrent brands but i doubt it can be that. (im not a mechanic but ive gone thru a fair amount of tires in a yr to have mismatched a couple pairs )

different means different grip level

Please stop giving advice. Your history proves you're REALLY bad at it.

i had a 2006, bought off the showroom with 4 miles and under accell it pulled to the laft too. I was intrigued since the 2001 does not do this. All tires where obviously new and the alighnment was perfect. This may be no issue
