Lots of pulling even after a large amount of repairs....

All bushings appear good. I notice a slight wobbling sound, and a rattle/stretching sound occasionally from front driver side or engine, but only can hear in cab not when i put down the window. Also, it seems to be happy when accelerating, but when letting off gas it pulls a little more than normal. I’m thinking something with suspension, wheels or maybe wheel bearing on driver side? I got a good deal on the air ride compressor on eBay which was new and Dorman brand, but now wondering if that was a bad idea buying on there, i don’t hear it with every start, wondering maybe something with that? You guys have been wonderful and do appreciate all the help!!!
Maybe I missed it, but after going back through your posts, I don't see where you indicated which way the vehicle was pulling.

You also mentioned in your first post that you replaced the passenger side hub assembly but now you are hearing something on the Driver side of the vehicle. I would just go ahead and replace your driver side hub assembly as it has the same number of miles as the passenger side hub that you originally replaced.

I am assuming that our vehicle is 4wd. If so, can you put it up on some sturdy jack stands so all four tires are off the ground and have someone put the vehicle in drive and listen as the wheels turn?

The vehicle pulls to the right, (passenger side) a large majority of the time. I only replaced passenger front wheel hub assembly because the guy at the alignment ship noticed it was horribly bad. It is AWD, i will try the Jack stands and see if i can pin point any sounds.

Didn’t think it was going to be a tire issue, but apparently my new tires were imbalanced, issue corrected and vehicle is much better. Wanted to provide an update.

Glad you got it figured out and thank you for circling back and sharing what your resolution was.

Glad it was a simple fix.
Yeah, thank you, I was about to rip every part off and replace it. I love my rig, worth every penny that i put into it. Hope this forum helps someone else before they do what I was ready to do.
