Help?

I have an issue with my 04 V6. There's a very noticeable pull to the right side when I drive. My first thought was that the alignment was out but I've had the alignment checked and redone twice and no real improvement. The dealer doesn't seem to think anything is wrong but I'm pretty sure they're just lazy. No signs of uneven tire wear. Any thoughts?

Did you have more negative caster on the passenger side than the drivers side? Also check ball joints.

Are your front tires directional? If not you can cross them from side to side. May be what they call a "radial pull". A very noticeable pull is usually a tire issue.

Not sure about the caster on the driver/passenger side, I'll have to check the paperwork from the alignment. When I bought the car the dealer replaced the control arms and ball joints. I'll have to check the tires though...thanks.
