Control Arm Bushings & Alignment

As I now know, my right front control arm bushing is a little worn and is starting to pull out slightly. The other isn't bad yet.

My question is this, will having that bushing worn affect alignment at all? I just bought 4 brand new hydroedge tires and would not like them wearing unevenly. My old tires were a little worn unevenly, but I'm pretty sure it was from a couple years ago when my alignment was off.
 


The answer is yes a worn bushing will affect camber caster and toe as you are going down the road and will cause uneven wear. Spend 20 bucks fix the bushing and get it realigned.
 
My 2000 Grand Prix GT has 2 really bad control arm bushing that im waiting to recieve the 2 replacements in the mail, and it has a bad front right wheel bearing. The car has annoying pull left to the point where in order to drive straight u actually have to hold the wheel like 20 degrees to the right. Im thinking the new bushings along with an alignment and then the bearing should solve it. Any other suggestions?
