Car drifts to the right.
2007 4Matic. Tires all same tread, all have same air pressure. Wheels straight, w/ no bends. Just had dlr. do full alignment. Results are car is smack in the middle of prescribed parameters. Inspection showed nothing bent or bad. Just had new Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads installed. Mech says nothing dragging; calipers etc. fine. I had the right front swapped w/ two of the other wheels/tires, to eliminate bad tire, as reason.
It still drifts strongly to the right. I have used and been on flat lots etc., to eliminate road "crown", as a reason, for drifting.
What else is there to check or consider after all the work done? Appreciate all ideas. Thanks.

Dlr. looked over, supposedly, all the suspension hardware and nothing was bent nor out of order. Bushings looked at? Probably not, knowing that place. Thanks for advice, I'll have a specific look taken at all bushings.
Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the advice.

Tires advice. Thanks. But, all four are high end Continentals. All have less than four thousand miles on them. I have had all four tires and wheels put on the right side over the past weeks. Same result....pull to the right. I appreciate the thought, as it's often a tire wire gone bad the causes pulls. But, I struggle to think all four of this matched set are bad. Possible, but I am not inclined to spend another $1200 on tires just yet.
