pulling to the right.

Car was driving straight but, I noticed that the right axle boot was broken so, I changed the whole axle. After the axle was changed I had the car aligned and now the car pulls to the right. I have taken the car to 3 different places and they have all told me that the car is perfectly straight but, nobody can understand why the car pulls to the right. Can anybody give me any ideas.

just a stab in the dark, did you reinstall the brake correctly?

if you used the correct axle, i would go back and check everything that was removed and reinstalled. if the alignment checks out, it sounds like you are getting too much resistance from the right side.

Yeah, either could be alignment or the brake is resulting in pulling in one direction.

Thanks guys but the brakes are fine. I'm actually going to change the rotors and brakes this week because I feel a pulsation when I brake. The pulling to the right is strange because it happened immediately after the axle was put in. It is even stranger that when I had it aligned 3 times they say everything is o.k but, it pulls to the right. I had the same axle rebuilt and put back on.
