    Could this be ball joints or bushings or possibly some sort of damage from tech while rotating balancing tires ? It’s a frustrating mystery…

    New tires and alignment everything is fine.first rotation balance then truck is pulling right, go back switch tires looking for radial pull and still pulling right. Upgrade to new better tires and fresh alignment and still pulling right. No clue at this point. Thank in advance any all advice.

    need to get the front right corner inspected. more than likely, it'll be brakes or wheel bearings, as bad suspension joints would effect the alignment.

    unless you didn't get a printout of the completed alignment, and the guy just gave you a verbal OK, when everything was in fact, not OK.

    What is the history behind this? Did you recently buy the truck and it's just like this? Have you had it a while and this just started? How bad is "chronic"? Meaning you let go of the wheel and it drifts right, or it's constantly tugging and you have to work to keep it straight? We need more info.

    Could also be something as simple as tire pressure as well. If the front right has a slow leak and is 10 pounds lower...

    Post up your alignment sheet. "Good" in alignment speak could mean wrong.

    Alot of alignment guys don't understand alignments like they should
