1968 Ford Mustang Fastback — question: Alignment still pulls after tires were rotated

NorthOwnerCommunity StarterMar 15, 20261968 Ford Mustang FastbackNationwide
1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, about 151,000 miles. Car started pulling slightly right after a tire rotation. Alignment printout is technically in spec. Is it worth cross-rotating tires to check radial pull before paying for another alignment? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 1968 Ford Mustang in Nationwide, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “question: alignment still pulls after tires were,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? That's my plan before I call anyone.

I parked the 1968 Ford Mustang and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 1968 Ford Mustang before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. Any freeze-frame data saved? I'll update if anything new shows up.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 1968 Ford Mustang, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. The universe charges extra for guessing. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
