Default Help car pulls to the right

hey guys...my head hurts here
i got my my99 turbo on tuesday needed a few things which ive done a caliper and some tyres and a service
my problem is it pulls ro the right no matter if your accelerating or if your just cruising or coasting always the same amount of pressure.
ive taken it to have full aliment done camber and toe adjusted i have the print out...now shows as all within its tolerence but still pulls to the right...im stuck on this one im hoping someone can help me on this.

IF the alignment is all within spec, then the thing that springs to mind is a binding front-left caliper....

But I guess you've addressed that as you said you done the caliper?

Tyre pressures? Especially if they're new, garages (in my experience) often just pump some air in to inflate the tyres, but the actual pressures are a bit random. If the tyres aren't brand new, try swapping them around - a small difference in rolling radius can cause the car to pull sideways.

Which caliper did you fix?
