could be torque steer if it's when you are accelerating.

could be alignment

or...could just be the road. most roads are crowned to encourage water run off. I'd say if it happens in the left lane too then it's probably alignment.

no. could be a tire pull. or even a brake problem. try rotating the tires. thats free. if the car pulls the other way, then you may have a tire problem.

True. It can be couple factors.

Tires -like IH8RICER said, switch ur front two tires around...See if it still does the same thing.. if it still turns to the right still, then i would say its alignment.

tire pressure can be a factor too. if right tire has a less pressure, it will tilt to right.

How about a steering rack, my car also pulls to the right, but very hard, when the car is in the air, and wheels of the ground, I can move my wheel, I assume its the steering rack?

I'd try everything that everyone has suggested before getting an alignment. Is your car lowered? If it is, then out of whack toe angles are at least some of the problem.

It could be a variety of things. If you have a tire pressure gauge, then check your tire pressure. I'd get an alignment next and see if that fixes the problem. If it does then there ya go. I'd say the alignment is probably the most obvious thing your looking at. But who knows.

put your steering wheel straight and look at your wheels. They're most likely toe out from the car (which occurs when you lower the car). It's actually pretty easy to do the toe adjustment in your driveway with a tape measure and a cresant wrench and takes less than 5 min. You just need to see how much toe your car has adjust the tie rods accordingly. Had to do it to my DA Integra when I put some Teins on it.... car pulled to the right before I fixed the alignment. Now it drives fine and nice & straight and doesn't pull. The wheels are also straight now, aligned with the body so there is no more toe out.
