Default Front axel question

I just got my truck aligned, and i noticed that there is still an ever slight pull to the left. Upon thinking of how our front axels work, isn't there always going to be a little bit of pull because the left side of the axel will always be spinning with more weight than the right since the disconnect is way on the right and then you got all the spider gears on the left?

If you want to see if that is indeed the problem, apply vacuum to apply the cad, to lock the front axle together, WITHOUT engaging the t-case. See if it still pulls.

That does indeed make it MUCH easier.
