    Got new tires,front end alignment and vehicle pulls to right, changed to upgraded new tires and checked alignment again and still pulls/drifts to right. No major noises or vibrations and has 55,000 miles. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

    Can you post the alignment sheet from both of your recent alignments?

    Even though you said chronically, try to pay close attention the the slope or crown of the road you’re driving on. Most roads we drive on are slanted right for drainage purposes and that’s why you it’s pretty common for cars to have a right side pull even if the alignment is good. If you come across a perfectly flat road and your truck drives straight, then your alignment is probably okay. If the right pull really bothers you then adjust alignment for half a degree higher caster on the passenger side, it will drive straight on right crowned roads, but pull left on flat and left crowned roads (not as common). But do post your sheet like the guy above said

    Bought new tires in October along with alignment and truck ran true with no pull then took in for first rotation and balance and after that started pulling to right. They swapped tires checking for radial pull and still pulled so then upgraded to different new tires and still pulled then got another alignment and still pulling. This is most recent alignment. Thanks again for any input.

    Where the hell are the caster numbers? Those missing numbers usually will tell you a lot and they're not here. Even when you get a cheesy "toe and go" alignment, you still get the caster numbers. Something very suspect here.

    Looks like a crappy shop to me leaving out the caster numbers and leaving a RWD truck with negative toe. Camber is leaning towards the right with - on the left and + on the right which could be contributing to a right pull. You gotta find another shop, gotta be plenty of good shops in/near San Jose. Don’t go to a car care or tire care shop, go to an actual alignment specialist shop

    Yeah, you need a real alignment shop and not a crappy pseudo muffler shop.
