Default 2008 alignment

Anyone else have any problems with their 2008 grand caravan pulling to the left after getting it aligned? have new tires new rotors and brake just got it aligned they say it is dead on alignment yet it pulls to the left even if you are in the right lane which should naturally make a car drift to the right.
The dealer put a different strut on the front six months after we bought it 2 years ago because of clunking and noise issues. could that have anything to do with alignment specs?

We have a 2010 as well as others I have heard from have had similar problems without any fix. Our tires wear as well.

I found 2 08's that had a pull to the left. when I checked alignment on both, they both had more neg camber on the right front. both vans had less than 10k. I had to modify the strut to get camber right on. the variation was "in spec" but not to my level of perfection. this fixed the problem. have a look at the alignment print out to see what your numbers are. post camber, caster and thrust angle numbers.... bad engineering
