Car pulls right still after alignment
Driving is no longer fun. My left hand is numb after having to grip the wheel tight when driving. My06 has seemed to have been pulling to the right, so I figured to get an alignment after checking the tire pressure and all were at 32psi. This car is not my daily driver and had never been on the track or have been in any accidents with 26k miles on it. The steering wheel is a little off centered as well. Any ideas? Below are the before and after alignment results.
Before:
Front
Caster - Left (6.1) / Right (6.3)
Camber - Left (-0.3) / Right (-0.6)
Toe - Left (0.05) / Right (-0.20) [Total = -0.15]
Rear
Camber - Left (-1.4) / Right (-1.8)
Toe - Left (0.15 ) / Right (0.05) [Total = -0.20]
After:
Front
Caster - Left (6.2) / Right (6.3)
Camber - Left (-0.3) / Right (-0.7)
Toe - Left (-0.05) / Right (0.05) [Total = 0.00]
Rear
Camber - Left (-1.5) / Right (-1.8)
Toe - Left (0.15 ) / Right (0.20) [Total = 0.35]

I don't understand why your new alignment settings are not even left/right. Take it back and get it right.
I had pulling issues as well and it turned out to be my tires.

caster is what will cause your car to pull, that and worn tires. A trick I was tought a while back was to measure the distance between you front and rear tires on one side, then the other. If they are the same, or close, you probably have something bent. Your toe may cause it, but I doubt it. Camber also shouldn't cause your car to pull. If your tires are all the same with the same tread its probably caster or something is bent
