Default Pulling to the right? Brakes?

My 02 GT pulls to the right, not all the time, but when it does, it's pretty strong. I thought it might be the brakes. Does anyone else have any ideas. If it is the brakes, I'll just get them replaced, what kind should I replace them with. Thanks

check tire pressure, wear pattern, and alignment as well... then brakes. No need to spend the extra cash and have the same problem.

allignment, tire presure, and wear is all good, I just had tires put in and the problem carried over. Any other ideas?

bent rim, crappy roads, or your alignment is way off.

It's got to be an alignment issue. Unless it is a particular road that you are driving on that has been leveled with improper camber.

All of the ideas that have been mentioned are all I can think of. Do you trust the place you took it to for the alignment. Take it back and tell them it's still pulling to one side.
