Default EF civic is pulling right

Have an 89 Si that I have a turbo GSR in and every since I've had this car it has pulled right. I aligned it, adjusting camber, caster, and toe all to perfect spec. I have measured the subframe and it is perfect, has new tie rod ends, new rack, new upper control arms, lcas, and ball joints. only thing still there original are the struts, and no matter what I do, the only way i can get it to track straight is to make the left side caster more negative, which isnt what i want to do all the time, i need it even. does it with street tires and slicks, tried swapping tires side to side, pressures are perfect. any suggestions? could the aging struts cause that?

Has it ever been wrecked? Have you checked for any clamp marks on the subframe?

do you have a limited slip diff? i think maybe its pulling right because of the shorter pass side axles and the power of the turbo. does it pull bad?

It pulls pretty bad, I do have a spool in it, but it pulled before I even had this motor installed. It did have a minor ding in the front, but nothing to warrant frame pulling. We did check all the frame measurements just to be sure though.

Do you have anything that solid mounts your lower control arm to prevent flex or walk under power? Maybe the right side arm is moving rearward excessivly changing your caster angle.

I have the Jimfab radius rods installed and they seem to be working fine, and none of the stock bushings are abnormally worn.
