Many things other than wheel alignment can cause a vehicle to pull when driven. A dragging brake may cause a vehicle to pull. Binding or bent suspension parts can also cause memory steer, or a pull in the direction turned last. Tires that do not match, side to side or low air pressure on one side also causes problems. Even with new, matching tires, conicity can cause a pull in a properly aligned vehicle.
