Angry front alignment issue - pulls to the left - HELP!

Hi All
I had messed with my corolla's springs in the past (installed eibach kit) and since then my car pulls to the left. I've had it professionally aligned 4 times to no avail.
Furthermore, I replaced eibach springs with original ones, had it realigned, but still it pulls to the left.
All alignment numbers are within specs.

Did anyone else have this issue? What do I need to do to fix it? This is really, REALLY annoying.

Thanks,

- Russ -

Maybe the tires on your left side have less pressure than on the ones on the right

tire pressure is fine, same tires were used prior to my messing with suspension and they worked fine. Also I did try rotating tires and that didn't help.

Re: front alignment issue - pulls to the left - HELP!

When you say alignment do you mean you went to a modern alignment shop and got a 4 wheel alignment?

If so it should not only give you the wheel angles for the front wheels but also for the rears too.
