Wow 3 times?? Maybe it's something else.... Have you checked your tire tread or something along those lines? Maybe that's the problem.... I mean, if you've done it 3 times and it's still steering to the right, that means two things.... You've either been getting your alignments done by someone that doesn't know what the hell their doing, or it's a problem that has nothing to do with an alignment.... You should look into it.....

Oooo, that's the another possibility..... Well I know a place near my house but I'm not going to make you drive all the way down here (I live in Brooklyn and I noticed you're from the Bronx) to get that stuff checked out.... Maybe the guys from the Bronx can chime in.....

Dude check your compliance bushings. Its notrorious for ripping and one of the main symptoms would be alignments that will always go out of speck once you put the car on the road. Its very hard to fuck up an alignment since the computer pretty much does everything. Its definitely something in your car.

If I'm not mistaking they are part of the lower control arm, if somebody can chime in that'll be great ...I believe mines are shot to death, I've noticed the same symptoms ppl are reporting online. Like raj said it makes your alignment go out spec, steering is almost a chore, you could hear some type of rattle coming from the wheel well when you hit bumps, worn tires ect..
