Thanks, Mike. I considered that possibility, but there is no uneven tire wear and tire pressures are normal.

Does your car drift gradually to the right, or is it more of a sharp, lane change type movement?
It's just as you describe...kind of a sharp movement to the left if I let go of the wheel...I have to hold the steering wheel to keep her on a straight track to negate the pull. If I let go of the steering wheel, I'm over in the next lane (or on the shoulder) in a matter of seconds. Not safe at all.

My tires are newer, less than a few thousand miles, and show no signs of uneven wear either. I'm not expecting any miracles when I swap the Left and Right fronts, but I'll give it a shot anyways. I should mention that I'm a newer owner of the car unfortunately without much history as to the suspension upkeep. My mechanic said things all looked original but were within tolerance when he safetied the car. All I've done is get turbo tie rods put on, and the four wheel alignment. The car was also pulling before the new tie rods and alignment.
