Default Re: Steering pull, not alignment.

Please, just swap the tires left/right.
This will determine if it's tire related (broken belt or unequal rolling resistance) or chassis related.
If after swapping, it pulls in the opposite direction; then the condition followed the tire in question.
If you find no difference, then you know it's either alignment*, a hung caliper or even (Possibly) a bad bearing and you can then return the tires to their original positions.

*remember uneven caster angles can cause a pulling condition and you'd never suspect it by looking; no tilting and most times no wear.

look at the specs on your alignment report, even if they put front and rear toes in spec, check cross toe. as long as cross is in spec for toe , caster and camber then there will be no pull but there will be tire wear.
