Default Alignment Question

I recently just had my car in the shop to fix some damages I did too it. One accident involved me running over a semi-truck tire at 80+ mph. Well prior too that, my car had a pull to the right. Along with the other parts that were fixed, they gave me two brand new OEM SI wheels + two brand new Michelin tires. Well originally they put the two brand new wheels/tires on the right side of the car, which caused the car to drive horribly. Well I took it back, they put the two new tires on the front, and realigned the car. The car still pulls to the right on highway driving. I gave the shop a call back. That shop said they have two brand new SI's in their lot, they are going to put the new one the alignment machine and get the specs off of that, and try to apply it to my car.

I am not certain that this is going to work. I am not too suspension savvy, so I was wondering what parts on the suspension (specifically the right side of the car) they can look at that could be broke/loose. I know most problems deal w/ tie rods, but they said they looked fine. I was wondering if there were any other parts that we could look at while the car is on the lift?

The guy also mentioned that they could set the toe 2° in to see if that could correct the problem too. They said that the 2° would still be in spec.

Just looking for some advice when I take it too them on Tuesday. Thanks

Could be alignment, toe, tire pressure, road curvature...process of elimination is the only way to find out.

Well it has been aligned twice. I've checked the tire pressure myself, and the psi levels are where they need to be. I've tried many different roads...some that were freshly paved, and it still pulls to the right.

God knows. I think my car hates me
