My 2014 with only 4900 miles has a drift to the right. I just found another guy had the same issue despite the dealer doing a alignment and replacing tires. Does anyone have or know the fix? Thank you in advance

I was initially thinking it was a radial pull but now I'm not so sure.

Could be a bad tire.

If the alignment is accurate, the tires may need to be replaced. If not that, it could be a dragging brake rotor,wheel bearing going bad, or possibly the tire stagger (diameter difference from one side to another). There could be other things but those are possibilities.

Have you tried swapping the tires from one side to the other assuming that our tires aren't directiongal...(Can't remember if our tires are directional or not???)
