UHMMM you checked everything eh>>?
So i am sure then, that you raised the car up and rotated both wheels in neutral to make sure that they were both spinning free

and also i am sure since you checked everything that you swapped the frt tires side to side to see if car pulled the other way
and since you did that you had the alignment checked as well ?

Shoot, since you checked everything I am out of ideas
