Still drifting to the right!

Hello all.
02 2.5rs

Just got my Alignment done because I had to constantly turn the wheel left to go straight and letting go of it I would drift right(meaning a right pull). I was hoping it would be fixed with a simple toe adjustment but I guess some car god out there hates me.

After the alignment the pull was eased by a good 45% put it's still there. I don't have crazy uneven wear on the tires so I'm really out of ideas. They are only 1 year old tires and their tread is still a good 60% on all four.

And if it was the tire wouldn't I have gotten the pull immediately after installing them? The pull randomly started happening a month ago.

Any ideas people?!

did u have shop inspect all suspension parts? ball joints, tie rods, rack bushings, top hat bearings (yes a seized top hat will cause terrible handling, especially pull). also check caster (rear liquid filled LCA bushing). other than that, all i ca nthink of is the wheel wasnt straightened when aligning. GL!

tires could have worn due to alignment. lots of things can factor in. hell even incorrect inflation of tires.

Rubber bushing in the steering column thrashed. Look below the brake master cylinder, where the steering column meets the steering rack.
