Always going to the right

I have a problem with my car, when I straighten the steering wheel, the car goes to the right.

I did the alignment 2 times, and it came out good.
I thought the streering wheel is not align with the steering wheel, but the guy who did the alignement said the steering wheel is aligned with the wheel.

What could be the problem?

Thanks

search for steering bushing and you'll possibly find the answer.

^^What he said.^^ It's called 'memory steer' and it's a fairly common problem with WRX's. By upgrading to say, Whiteline polyurethane steering rack bushings you eliminate the soft stock rubber bushings, therefore straightening out the wheel and making the steering wheel snap back to center quicker.
