Can steering box cause car to pull to one side?
Since I switched from manual to power steering my car pulls to the right. I never noticed it before the swap. I have a fast trax gauge and aligned the front end for -1/2 camber both sides,+1 caster drivers +1 1/2 passenger side,1/8" toe.
I also have adjustable rear control arms and squared the rearend with the chassis. Everything appears tight and the brakes don't seem to be dragging when I jacked up the front and spun the wheels. Could a brake hose still be bad and cause the pull? When braking the car goes arrow straight.

If everything is tight and you didnt notice it before the swap it has to be in the alighnment somewhere.Unless the box is bad it shouldnt cause this.

Found the problem. Switched tires side to side and now pulls the opposite direction.

Do you have BFG tires? Just curious because I chased a pulling problem through three different alignments shops. Only after I replaced the tires did the pulling go away.
