Default 01 SCREW pulls hard right

Ok. I bought a 01 SCREW. It pulls super hard right. I am a mechanic, so today at work I threw it up on the alignment machine and straightened all out. Shook down the front end. Everything is tight. Nothing bent. It still pulls super hard to the right. The only thing I can still think of is, that it is a tire issue. Anyone else have this issue or a solution?

Did you check the brakes to make sure the caliper wasn't sticking? Does the right wheel turn freely?

Just throwing that out there, I had my left caliper sticking and it would pull hard to the left driving, and braking it would pull to the right.

It stops great and dosent pull when you stop. But the brake petal is very bouncy. I guess I will check brakes next.

Does it have rear Drum brakes? If so, adjust them.
