Smile Front end alignment problem

I am having trouble getting my front end alignment to track straight on my 2004Ford Mustang Mach 1. It tracks to the right and drifts. The Ford dealer says I need to install after market caster and camber plates. Why would I need to install non OEM parts to get the alignment straight?

Has the suspension been modified in any way?

If not then the dealer is retarded. If it pulls one way and wanders at high speed I'd suspect a lack of enough positive caster, biased to one side.

It's hard to know what the problem is though without actually knowing where the alignment is.

Rotate the tires and report back any difference or not.
