so the camber was never in spec on alignment once I lowered the truck. it was maxed out. I finally got camber bushings installed to give it a couple degrees of adjustment availability, and now everything is in spec on the alignment, but it still pulls slightly to the right? can anyone think of anything else that would cause this? tires maybe?

Tire pressure, bad tire, sticking brake caliper, control arm bushing(s), rear axle (thrust angle). Was it only a front end alignment or a complete 4-wheel, thrust angle alignment?

full 4 wheel was done. control arm bushings....are those different than what I just installed? i'm leaning towards the tires, although I hadn't thought about the sticky caliper, is there a way to check that myself?

here's the printout on the alignment....

Ok, try narrowing to tires. Swap front tires and see if the pulls goes to the Left. If it does you can suspect the that tire you swapped for cause of pull.

Mine pulls to the left. I got the alignment checked and they said it was fine. I'm wondering if the torsion bars could have anything to do with it. Anybody know?

I have experienced radial tire lead ,caused by a belt deforming under load. Most times you cannot see it but it causes the tire to pull in one direction ,as mentioned above try moving the tires around the vehicle to see if it goes away,just a thought.

Funny you mention that, because the belts are seperating on my front drivers side tire. I've been assuming that's the reason, but untill I replace it, I figure I might as well see what everyone else is experiencing.
