Default Alignment problems arises!

When first picked up the vehicle the car was puliing hard to the right. Then I took it in for aligment and of course it was off and they corrected it. This was about 2 weeks ago and the car drove straight and fine. Just today decided to take it out for a spin, and the car is pulling to the left now.

Checked the tire pressure to make sure that wasnt causing the problem but that is fine. Havent hit anything to knock the alignment out of place cause the car is rarely driven.

Any suggestions? Could this be part of the ball joint problem that everyone is talking about?

i would check your tires. are they getting bald? you could always swop the fronts to the rears and see if it's pulling.

i don't think it's your ball joints but if you whole suspension is loose, it can add to your front end woes.

first thing is swop the tires and make sure the air pressure is even. if this doesn't work, bring it back to the alignment shop for a second look.

Tires have good tread and looks even. I had already checked tire pressure and its fine.

what type of tires and how wide are they?
Dont' forget the crown on some roads, around here, I'll get a very slight pull in either direction depending upon which road I'm on and which lane I'm in. I run 235's up front, 245's in back. Pirelli Pzero Nero.

How many miles are on the car? Maybe you have a tie-rod that is worn?
