Default Can't seem to fix alignment

For the past year or so my car pulls slightly to the right, I have to hold the steering wheel slightly to the left to go straight, I thought it was my snow tires since I seemed to notice it more when they were on, but now that I have my summer tires back on which are all new it still does it, I've gotten an alignment 3 times in the past year and a half and doesn't seem to fix it, and when I've had the suspension checked including 3 weeks ago everything looks good, curious what you guys think it might be?

Most likely its your front lower control arm rear bushing. Its a huge bushing wrapped in aluminum housing thats connect to the body thats attached to the front lower control arms. I had the same thing happen to me. On ebay there $35 per side and super easy to replace

Also make sure the alignment shop uses the latest hunter alignment racks

I had a similar alignment issue which turned out to be related to the wheel hub/bearing assembly on the passenger side. Do you hear a "humming" or "droning" noise when you drive down the road?

Is it pulling where you have to fight it or is the steering wheel off center when driving straight down the road. If it is the steering wheel off center it just needs to be adjusted.
