What is wrong with my car!

pulling
My car used to pull right after I made a turn. The upper strut bearing would clunk and get stuck putting torque on the spring and causing the car to pull.
This is a possibility if its not the CV. Did they put in new strut bearings or re-use the old ones?

I did the struts myself. I changed everything. It really isnt a pull, Its more of a tugging. It will drive strait then when i go to slow down it will start to tug to the right. Somtimes when i am going fast as well. And i can hear it clunk and like a granding noise if i turn hard that direction.

I do it myself but wouldn't recommend it unless you have a 15 ft. wrecking bar and
are experienced in prying apart ball joints.
Were the upper strut bearings lubed when you put them on.
You could try lubing them first.
