What are the telling signs that a car needs it alignment adjusted?
I've been having problems with the car pulling to the right, the dealer tells me I'm mistaking road-lean for steering issues or that I clearly don't understand what's involved. I don't like that answer.
I'm probably going to install a new suspension (haven't decided what) soon, so I'll have to do an alignment then.
any answers?

It could be an alignment problem...
Mine was doing the same thing and it turned out that my toe/camber settings were not within spec. After alignment, 99.99% of the steering issues were gone... it still feels a bit loose but it's MUCH better than before.

hmmm, I had the exact same thing...
...dealer put it on the rack and it checked out "within spec." Said it was probably tire wear!?!?!
Haven't replaced the tires yet to be sure of that, but YMMV.

very possible...
had the same thing on my car. Dealer checked the alignment specs and they were supposedly right on... so I took the tires off and I found I had really bad inside wear on three tires.
Put on a new set of four and the problem went away.
