My guess would be that its related to the recent tire change you made. If the car still pulls to the right after crossing the tires, have the dealer re-measure the alignment to provide a caster reading. If the caster is lower on the right then that would be a likey reason for the pull.
And let's say it still does pull to the right after tire swap? What can it be done if it's the caster as you say and since caster cannot be adjusted what can be done then if it's not tire issue

Look at my 1st post i told you to swap tires, ok now you just did and it's still pulls ? ill point out a list of suspension components that makes car pulls.

1,Inner/outer tie rods, Transmission mount, Ball Joints, Bad strut and Strut Mount, low tires pressure, bad tires and tire radial, different tread or different brand of tires (if your car is AWD all 4 tires must be exactly same) , bad control arm bushings (upper and lower) , all bushings are important to suspension, specially camber, bad steering rack will also pull right.

Like i said there are bunch of money grabber out there they open a shop and collect $$ most of them don't care about our car, i remembered i went to 8 alignment shop to get my TRD Toyota Solara aligned right, 6 of them SHop brought me NightMare one broke my ABS sensor and other forgot to tight up my camber bolt and other one forgot to tight up my endlink.

If you live in TOronto Canada ill have you come to my friend shop he will take time and spend time with you and show you.

I feel bad for you bro i've been thru those, every weekend i had to go find a good shop before i found this current shop and i don't know why your Lexus pull and it shouldn't, my AWD is250 current has BAD inner tie rod passenger side and Bad Alignment Toe driver Rear left. My car drive straight bro it does a little shimmy whenever i hit a bump but no pull at all.

Didn't swap tires yet that's my next step just had to put my car issues for a side now since I'm in the process of moving but thanks for all input, if car still pulls right after tire swap I'll take it to dealer and leave it there until they find the issue, if it pulls left after tire swap I'll know it's the tire and I'll get new tires, a matching set when the funds allow for it. Thanks again
