Impulsive Sensations

Before you all jump to conclusions that this is a brake problem please continue reading.
My car started to jerk left (almost like a pull/dive) about a month ago.
A machanic checked out all the brakes and said they were fine. Anyway, I ended up driving away with it. I noticed later that the steering wheel is also off center and to the left.
I took it into my trusted friends and had them check it out. They noticed that my right front caliper had seized and needed to be replaced, which I did.
The car still pulled.
I then got the left front control arm essembly replaced... bushings and all.
Still the car pulls to the left, not to mention it was a pain in the ass to replace the front left control arm because part of the transmission is right above it.
Needless to say the car is still pulling/diving/jerking (however you want to put it) to the left.
Anywho, I'm not 600 dollars later and still have the same issue. I have had 5 guys check out my car for hours and they say everything is fine on the front end EXCEPT for the right front bushing... it has the same wear as the left front which I already replaced.
I would replace the right control arm to only, at this point they as well as I are skeptical of it causing the car to pull left hard.
PLEASE any help of suggestions would be appreciated!
Has anyone else had this problem before and fixed it??
