Well its not just going right doug. It goes in a perfectly straight line until I turn it. Its memory steering. If I turn right it'll pull right until I turn left---then it'll go straight. So its not like its perpetually going right. It only goes right until I adjust it...that's why it sounded like a steering box/front suspension thing to me. now that there IS nothing in the front suspension that's NOT brand spankin' new...I'm running out of options.

Knight Rider, caster is what makes your steering wheel pull itself straight again after being turned. You say you had an alignment done, so I doubt it's out. Did you check your tire pressures? Doubt that is it too from what you are describing, but I'm just throughing ideas out. Good luck!

Thanks for the info pneumatic, but yeah I had the tires rotated, filled up the pressure in all four tires and had that allignment done. I get free allignments for the next 6 monthes or whatever, so after the next batch of dicking around I do, I'll go in and have them redo it just to make sure.
*sigh* I just wish this part of the project was over!

Sounds simple, but are you sure the rear wheels aren't steering the car? If something were loose and the thrust angle of the rear tires doesn't stay locked, you will get exactly what you are experiencing. Are you getting any throttle induced steer? if so, that may point to control arms. If not, look to the panhard rod. A slight shift can affect thrust angle.

Never thought of that. Thanks.
Good excuse to get LCA's and a new panhard.

Does that include everything? I'd get the LCA relocation brackets as well. Are trailing arms different then control arms? Sorry for such a noobish question, but I see LCA relocation brackets for sale on thirdgenresource, and I see trailing arms for sale---but no actual control arms for sale.
