After alignment printout & pulling
Replaced the rusted subframe, lower ball joints and tie rods on my '99 sedan. Tires are new Michelin and had the car aligned at dealership. The car is pulling to the right - not severe but after 240k I know the handling is off - even on as level a road as I can find. I'm having to bring the car back to straight line.
The specs on the printout look ok but would like other opinions. I did not remove the radius rods from the from front subframe and when I reinstalled, there was no problem aligning the bolts with lower arm - which I know may not mean much of anything since I had the entire subframe out.

Your toe was way off in the front beforehand. Unless your tires are really really new they could have worn a bit which would explain a possible tire pull instead of an alignment pull. You can swap the tires to confirm.
I'll try swapping the tires but the toe was way out due to my replacing the rusting tubes on the rack and pinion and screwing up the alignment. I just got the car on the road and the car had been aligned when I bought the tires not long ago. Tire wear and handling were perfect until I replaced the subframe, etc.
