Well i bought brake lube stuff.
To put on the shims to get the squealin' to stop, and it works and while i was doin' that clean the rims front and back, [should've takin' pictures of the car on jack stands; will remember to do that :wink: ]
Anyways when i was puttin' on the lube stuff i noticed somethin' weird on my car, on the passenger side.
Well the bracket for the FSW was bent where it was attached on the strut.
Adn the rear wheel nar thingy was bent too, and the driver side front and back were straight.
Thuoght it was weird; well i think that is why my car is pullin' to the right so hard.
Cause on the driver side you can see a clean part of the FSB......

Some pictures:
The driver side:

The passenger side:

How could i miss that??????

And now for the rear wheel align bar thingy:
Drive side:

Passenger side:

And how could i miss this too????
The rear passenger wheel looks flat......
Bothers me about this.

My solution i thought of today for the passenger front strut, i was goin' to take it off and hammer it straight again or close to it.
Will this work????
Input would be helpful.
Thanks.

Just go to a tire shop and have an alignment done and have em check it out. IT sounds liek you could bang it around to get a fix out of it. However I don't know about you, but I'm not about to just start banging any kind of suspension components around with a hammer. You really don't want to bend something improperly and have to replace a part that may have been fixable. As durable as cars are, you start knocking something around like that, and you'll find out just how fragile they can be as well.

This is off topic but, boy, do Solaras look better on top then they do underneath.
