car pulls to the left
got a front wheel alignment today but the car still pulls to the left. alignment specs:
camber: left: -1.9 right -2.4
toe out: 1/16" total
caster: -2.6 left and right
so the left side was unable to get any more negative camber than -1.9. i have the paragon ARHK, lowered about 2" with the rennbay extended ball joint pin. six weeks ago i changed the front rotors and pads and lines. the car still pulls slightly to the left while driving despite the alignment, and braking makes no difference on pull.
i'm thinking i may have tightened the front wheel bearing too tight. alternatively, the front brake may be dragging, but why would this occur and how do i detect it? any thoughts?

Jack the front and give the wheels a spin. I doubt that's the case.
Soft tire on the left?
Bad rear alignment?
Parking brake dragging?
Tires worn funny?
