Pulling Hard!
Even after alignment it's pulling to the right.
Anything I could check? Troubleshoot ideas
Have 33x11x16 Tires
4.5 Inch Suspension Lift
Bent Sway Bar Link on Passenger Side

If alignment is dead on could be a radial pull(aka tire pulls one way) or even the brakes on that side. Could have a sticking caliper or a bent calper slide.

It's not a radial pull as I just put brand new tires on it , and to clarify a bit it doesn't pull hard, it's a slight pull , but Idk if it will wear my tires out

it dont matter if u got new tires if u just swap out the front tires around see what it does and if it still pulls the same way then look into your brake pads and see if one side of ur pads are worn more then the other side if so it a bad caliper

I work in a tire shop 14 years now as an alignment and suspension tech. We get this sometimes after new.tires are installed and rig is aligned. "You screwed up my alignment!" So we cross the front tires and either pulls the opposite way or goes straight. Dunno what actually.causes this there's been 2 or 3 reasons but I don't care. Cross the tires...you can't screw up the alignment on a cherokee to create a pull. Unless you smash into something.
