Default Still pulling to the right..

My car has been pulling to the right for about 6 months now.

I took it to an alignment place and the guy said, "we did the tow-in on the car, but that crossfire of yours doesn't have an adjustment for pull because it has set castors."

Basically telling me to deal with the fact my car is pulling to the right.

I'm calling BS on this but I needed to ask someone here their opinion.

Hope you get a good answer because mine has always pulled to the left.
Perhaps we should arrange a meeting and have them mate ?

Check your passenger lower control arm. There's a couple spots you have to be a controtionist to see, but mine is bent ever so slightly near the lower ball joint, kicking the caster off.

He is right that it doesn't have caster adjustments. The front can't adjust much in caster or camber because of the factory adjustment bolts. From my understanding there are two bolts at each front wheel. One adjusts camber and one caster. You can buy and install the camber bolt kit from Needswings and this can be adjusted. Mine pulls a little to the left. I bought the kit, but mine doesn't pull enough for me to justify the trouble to install the bolts (or money for someone else to install), so I put them up for sale in the forum sale section if you want them.
