Car pulls slightly to the right.
I had my car aligned then I changed the tie rod ends and aligned again. The car slightly pulls to the righ if you drive 55+. before and after aligning. I saw the report.
The shocks, rotors, brakes, reems, tires and bushings here and there are brand new. My list of things to change is empty. I did not hit any curb, was not towed or anything like that.
Brakes were airbleeded.
Ideas?

Take it to a different shop. I had an "alignment" done on my car. Chewed through my front tires in two weeks. Took it to a different shop, and turns out the alignment was way off.

Re: Car pulls slightly to the right.
Or take it to the same shop, and say fix it...
Other things to consider. Mushy Bushings. Sway Bar Bushings Worn. Shock Blown. Uneven Brake Wear.
Does it only pull when you brake?
That was happening to me.
-Changed to Stainless Steel Brake Lines - Earls (Amazing)
-Flushed Brake Fluid - Put in Dot.4 Brake Fluid - Prestone (Should be clear, not brown)
-Slotted Rotors - Brembo Gold Plated (Amazing)
-Ceramic Brake Pads - Hawk (Amazing)
-Checked Rear Brake Shoes/Drums - Mine were good. New lines, and fluid fixed everything.
Check Power Steering Fluid Level. Time for a flush? Not Enough Fluid?
Start there. Reply with more symptoms as you go.
Bent Control Arm? Axle Leaking? Boot Broken?
many possibilities. Steering Wheel wasn't set properly in the alignment.

Sway bar bushing are new.
It pulls when driving not braking (However I need to check it while breakingI havent noticed anything so far).
The brake pads are premium quality and new as well as rotors.
Brake fluid flushed Dot4

Power steering level OK.
Boots in good condition.
Nothing is leaking.

Re: Car pulls slightly to the right.
New tires can still be a defect part. The wires in the new tires can be separated and cause it to pull to whatever direction; swap the front tires from driver's to passenger's and passenger's to driver's. Then see if it still pulls to the same direction at the same MPH.
