My car also pulls to the right and seems unstable and needs to be corrected going straight at fast speeds. Other than the balljoints and struts that I knew needed changing, he found that the control arm bushings are badly worn, and the idle control arm bushing. In 13 years of salty weather the rubber disintegrates quick. Hope that helps and check those items.

mine pulls to the left.... can't find anything wrong with it tough, and as long as I keep the wheel a little turned it does straight... starting to think that someone in the past took the wheel off and didn't put it back straight...

Could be a tire pull, try crossing the front two tires.
