crazy alignment issue
so i went to the shop today to get my rear carrier bushings installed and i also had to get another wheel alignment after doing so.... in the last 3 weeks i had gotten 2 wheels alignment because my car was pulling like crazy to the right.... when i would leave the alignment shop everything would be fine and as the week progressed more and more drifting to the right untill my tires would screech going in a straight line.... had my mechanic check the front end because obviously the alignments weren't lasting like they should.... wound up being my lower control arm bolt had come loose allowing the control arm to have play and throwing the alignment out of whack..... any one know how this could happen, figured once those bolts were torqued down they are never supposed to come loose....

My left caster spec is off and the car pulled to right. The alignment did improved after I replaced the two caster arms. But still never completely cured the right pulling symtom.
The funny part is that sometime (only sometime, once in a blue moon or Friday the 13th) when I am on the Freeway and doing like 75-80 MPH, Its tend to track straight.
What is causing the casters to be off specifiction Folks?
For a designer/engeneering standpoint. Why can't those bolt be keyed at increment in degree?
