My Aveo jerks to a side sometimes

[BattlingMaxo]

My car had a flat tire Friday. The car steering was good at this point. All of the tires were worn so i bought four new Doral tires. I was told to get the alignment which i did but now the car jerks to left or right side every so often on a curve or straight driving. This may happen a few times over a few miles, for the most part it works okay. This has to be from the alignment, as i said i had no problems prior. I had the end links replaced about a year ago and they look okay. Has any one else heard of this? I am going to bring it to the tire people tomorrow but was hoping someone here might have an idea.

Could be the tires too.

Either not holding and breaking loose on the turn, or since the tread is new loosing grip when the tire leans with the turn.

+1 for what rabbit said.

You can also have them redo the alignment again (do not pay for it, just complain and they should do it).

I wonder if they are balanced incorrectly as well?

I will go see them tomorrow, Like i said it happens driving straight not just on turns. What's strange is that is not consistent, if it was the tires i would think it would happen consistently when driving. I am just confused.

They checked it and we even did a road test. Putting it on a lift the problem seems to be "Right lower control arm bushing" When they wiggled the tire you can plainly see the arm was loose. How much to repair that? I probably will do both
