Talking Alignment issues

Hi guys, so even after purchasing new tires and having the car computer aligned, it still pulls ever so slightly to the right. What else could it be? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Steering/suspension bushing or slight brake binding perhaps.

Not really a lot else it could be.

A very simple thing to test is the tires themselves. Even new tires sometimes cause this. Swap the front tires from side to side.

Yup, could be any of the above.

Or....maybe the alignment needs a bit of a tweak. If so, it wouldn't be the first time a car was aligned and needed a follow-up visit. Sad but true is that many alignment techs assume that if they set everything "within spec" that a post-adjustment road test, and further adjustments, won't be required.

Thanks guys! I did take it back to double check, but in all honesty I know I need new springs for the front because they curve out and hit the shocks when I turn the wheel all the way, Im sure I need new bushings as well. Does anyone have a list of all the bushings so that I could buy them and do them all new when I install the new springs?
