pulling to the right

what would make my truck pull to the right? it pulls pretty noticeably ... more than like "I need an alignment" ...

I checked and regreased caliper slide bolts. Caliper piston seal is dry and looks good. There is nothing obviously rubbing the rotor. There is no noise whatsoever from the front end. No wobbling.

I've had it aligned, wheels balanced and rotated. Tire pressure is spot on at the recommended pressure.

any ideas?

Normal for the vehicle to always pull to the right seeing the roads always have a crown to shed water.

yeah, true, but this is more extreme than that ... this is beyond normal ...

Take it back to the alignment shop.

Something is not right.

If not front did you look at the rear brakes - one sticking on right will keep dragging you that way - had a rear disc slide freeze and if 98up those rear caliper piston (single) get cocked in the bore after a brake job.

Have you checked your power steering? My dad had a similar problem with an old lexus. Not sure exactly what the problem was, Ill have to check with him, but be sure to check the power steering fluid.

I would say it is a blazer and to just get used it ;) Actually my truck is in the shop so I have my moms 2000 and mine is a 98 and hers handles as far as steering and slopiness much better, rides better too, but mine with the upgraded shocks handles better and I can drive harder. I have never actually found out what she has installed except shocks that differ but hers stay as straight as an arrow

One thing you might want to try is to swap the front tires side to side and see if the direction of the pull changes.If it does you need to replace some tires due to a shifted belt.You don't always have to have a shake or vibration to have a bad tire.
