IMO, too much caster lead on the right side. You want a small caster lead on the right for road crown but, again IMO, the 2 degrees more on the right side is too much.

Also, are you saying you replaced all the components to attempt to fix the pull and then had it aligned with this alignment outcome and still had a pull to left or you had it aligned, for whatever reason, and then when pulling left you replaced the components? Then had aligned again? There would be two alignment printouts.

Plus, if it is such a noticeable pull to left, why did the alignment tech not notice it when on an after alignment road test?

Agree on the caster, the specs call for 1 degree difference in caster, but the allowable range is +/- 1 degree....?

Rear passenger wheel takes a lot more effort to turn that drivers side. Could this be causing it?
You would think it should be the opposite side..
Does it feel like the brakes are making it hard to turn? Or the diff?

Yea, allowable is for lazy alignment techs. That setting is at the far outer range of allowable and the tech should have road tested and felt the pull/drift and corrected.
