Check your alignment, use a tape measure and measure from front left wheel to back left, same on the right side. This will maybe show a frame problem. Check over your a-arm bushings, might be real loose and causing the a-arm to be cocked. Wheel bearings and brake caliper, make sure both wheels spin about the same. Also, with your tie rods, check the measurement on the front tires, from fronts of left tire to front of right tire, then the back of front left tire, to back of front right tire. The distance should be about equal, for front and rear of the front tires. If one is way off from the other, then it could pull in either direction.

I have had this problem also and all it was for me were the rear tires were inflated uneven meaning that my right rear had more than the left.
