Default Re: Car pulling to the right

Been having the same problem with my car pulling to the right for several months now. Any advice would be appreciated, but here's what all I've already done.

1. Alignment by a dealer...twice. Said it was dead on the machine.
2. Talked to a body shop about a bend in the frame. They said ulikely, why don't I check a radial tear in the tire.
3. All tires were either swapped from side to side or even wheel to wheel. Also had the front tires replaced. No change.
4. European car specialist said he knew the problem. Replaced the control arm bushings. $2,700 later, car still pulled to the right.
5. Next they got a camber kit installed. Corrected the pull some, but not all.

I've thought about the brake drag, but there seems to be no change in the steering when I brake.

Also, the steering column is off about 5-10% to the left which again shows that the car drifts to the right except when I'm in the left lane on the interstate.

So to top all this off, the rear window has now come unglued and like everyone else experiences, you have to replace the entire top...if you can find one. Another $3,000 installed by a professional upholstery shop.

I give up and the car is out the door next week unless I can get the steering problem figured out. Why keep dumping money in the car?

Thanks.
