Thanks everyone for your responses and advice. I haven’t tried the pedal dance so I’ll give that a shot tomorrow and report back.
I don’t know where I put that sheet but I’ll try to find it and post it up. I’ve had a few people recommended a second alignment so I’ll take it in and see how it looks.
The front control arm was torqued down with the car in the air, I inspected the struts and other connecting point in the area and everything seemed fine compared to the passenger side. I do have a second set of struts with trd springs ive been lagging on throwing on. Might be worth it to see if it changes the steering pull.
That picture was a before picture after I had torn all the body panels off, those pieces you mentioned were definitely about an inch in and down compared to where they should have measured out at, they’re spot welded into the unibody and act like braces. I had them pulled to a square position plus or minus 2 mm. Afterward all the bolts for the headlight fender and fender support lined up good. I have not however measured the Xs underneath the car, I might go ahead and do that too so I can check make sure it’s square. I just gotta figure out what order I’m going to do these 3 things for efficiency sake.
What’s still strange is the steering pull only happens for short steering movements like corrections to straighten the car when going straight on the highway. If I’m making a turn that involves more steering movement that what youde do to switch a lane, it gives me the initial jerk in the turning direction and the rest of the turn I can make no issues, like a fwy on/off ramp until I bring the steering wheel back to center. The trigger point is at about the 58 minute mark in a clock for a left turn and the 3 minute mark for a right turn. It might make more sense it’s a mechanical issue if it was consistent throughout the turn radius, at least that’s my quick thought exercise on it. What do you guys think?
