Default ? About suspension/steering

I just got my truck back form the accident I was in, I was the one was hit by the drunk driver at 7am if anyone remembers my thread. The replaced my rack and pinion, upper and lower control arm, and tie rod on the left front side. They said the truck realigned super easy. When o drove it yesterday it really pulled to the left especially on the highway, to the point I had to have the steering wheel tilted to the right to keep it straight. Also if I hit any sharp dips or humps the truck darted to the right or left. Is this just from an alignment issues or is there most likely something else wrong?

Either you have a bad tire causing the pull or something is really out of whack on the front end. Try rotating the tires. It if goes away, it's the tires, if not, then it needs to go back to the shop ASAP!!

They also put a new tire on the front left so I don't know if because the other tires are old (not in bad shape just not brand new) if that would have anything to do with it. I am taking it back in Monday but I'm just tryin to get some knowledge on it becaue I know insurance companies always try and screw with you.

Yeah, that ain't right. I wouldn't touch a thing, just call the shop and tell them your bringing it back, let them and the insurance company make it right. IMO

Also, tell them to drive it out on the road so they know first hand what you're telling them.
