I agree that it seems unlikely that the pulling issue is due to the bushings.

However, it does take one's confidence away when the mechanic continues to avoid disclosing how he put the bushings on. Chuck's tools are not hard to figure out and it is entirely conceivable that your mechanic may have had something similar on hand. I think Chuck insists on supplying the tool to avoid the headaches of people damaging the bushings while trying to install with any number of home-brewed methods - and I agree with Chuck's approach for that reason.

The part that I find mistifying is why your mechanic wouldn't use the tools since they were provided at no cost to him?

All that aside, it sounds like you have enough experience in other 911s to know that your's is no longer right, and if a car is pulling noticeably, then is just seems crazy that the mechanic does not treat that seriously.

At the end of the day, there is a good chance that most of the work he did is OK, but something is wrong – alignment or whatever – and you need someone with the expertise and willingness to sort it out. Hopefully it will prove to not be too expensive.
