Pulls Right

I've almost everything on the front end replaced now (down to passenger side ball joint and passenger side lower control arm). Car is at 225K. I've replaced upper arms and sway bushings, idle arm rebuild kit, tie rods (ok, a year ago), brake thrust rod thingy bushings at the control arms and at the carrier (carrier bushings too!)..... and I've had the car aligned at NTB (different ones just to see if it was the tech / machine) and it consistantly pulls right!

ARGH!

So after the last ball joint and LC arm bushing I'll do one more quickly align at NTB (getting my $s worth out of my 5 year alignment - poor bastards), then I'll take it to the dealer and see if they can figure out what the heck is up.

That being said - the front end is tight! Steering box is rebuilt unit installed about two years ago so it doesn't take much to change direction now.

Ugh... so makes me wonder about the rear (if it is steering the car). I've rotated the tires (4 months old) every which way and the pull doesn't follow the tires.
