Default My car is pulling to the right - any suggestions other than the tires?

I posted this problem the other day thinking it was a "Radial Pull", but since then I have had the front two tires replaced, and the car still pulls to the right. I had the car aligned before I had the tires replaced thinking that was the problem - but today after they switched the tires, it still pulls

Has anyone had this problem?

Any ideas what it could be?

To make things worse, after they put on the second tire, I noticed them backing the car out of the bay, and the mgr said the tech was going to take it for a test drive - well this kid just opened the car up! Takes off through the parking lot, and down the street. Then back towards the store, and around the corner, absolutely flying - I could just hear my exaust winding. When he got back he says "wow, I really like that car, I didn't realize Audi's were that nice - I was going to get an Accord" - I would have killed that kid if he wrecked my car..............

Let me know what you guys think about the pull -

Thanks

Default Do your car ever been it?

Maybe an accident before you own the car that has not been well repair, or a caliper that not disengage well.

Default Does it pull right when just running down the highway or only when brakes applied?

If it pulls all the time, does the pull go up sharply when you brake?

Default camber

Look at the alignment sheet, and see if the camber is even between the left and right sides. I had the same problem.
