2020 Acura RDX — car pulls right even though alignment is green

Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial pull, or look harder at caster/camber side-to-side?

Tried a second charger / second scan and the story on the 2020 Acura RDX didn't change. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2020 Acura RDX catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.

If it were in my driveway, swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2020 Acura RDX and see if the fault moves. Save the big job until that test fails. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Heat soak after errands is the other window.

Same neighborhood, different next step: A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2020 Acura RDX is losing coolant with no puddle. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “car pulls right even though alignment is,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. Not driving it hard until I know more.
