[Supras] Rear end pulling left under accel

[Rockey Fox]

No noticeable movement. I think the alignment was
hosed  last fall right before I tore it down for the
rebuild. I had the car up on jack stands over the
weekend and found nothing out of the ordinary as for
play in any bushings.

The tires are directional and rotation is correct. All
four tires have equal pressure since I brought it home
and pumped the new pair up to par with the now rear
tires with 5000 miles on them.

I was complaining that the car didn't feel right and
the steering wheel was tilted left from the onset of
the alignment. I reckon it's time to get the
re-alignment done.

Thanks for all of your suggestions off-list and I'll
let you know if anything strage turns up.
