Car pulling to the right

My 02 CLK 430 is pulling to the right She has been aligned and all tires balanced. What else can I check or have the dealer check for me.

Talking

My car started pulling to the right and after ruling out dragging brakes or worn, loose suspension I put the rear tires on the front and the front tires on the back. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Check the brake system for a binding caliper or restricted hose etc....
Check the condition of your tires (air pressure/wear patterns etc....)
Check the crown of the road.

I know these are all basic, but you would be suprised as to what gets missed

Brakes.....good idea....will do
