    1. Align
    2. Rotate front tires
    3. Check tire pressures.

    Still kabig sa right.

    Can you identify the vehicle?
    Can you post the before and after alignment angle readings for analysis?
    If you have the needed readings (angles), it would be so easy doing diagnoses even miles away.

    tires might be out of round.
    you won't find out if you won't look for it.
    "un-mount the wheel and roll it on a flat concrete surface. if it won't roll straight, then it is probably out of round."

    errr... has the vehicle been in a significant accident that might have affected its suspension or body geometry?

    There is a distinction between leading or drifting and pulling. Google the differences.
    When does the symptom happen a. during acceleration
    b. during decelaration or braking
    c. while coasting?

    Car is toyota innova 2012 diesel

    Wala na yung reading. Did not got a picture of the result. Thinking it would be ok after alignment.

    It had no history of major acciden.
    Only minor scratches.

    Will try the out of roundness test.
    But i not sure if that is the problem. Because the mechanic there swap the front right tire to the front left tire. And still it steer to the right.

    On steady speed it will veer to right.
    The steering wheel turn about 5 to 10 degrees by it self.

    When stopping to a halt. Without touching the steering wheel, it rest to about 5 to 10 degree turn to the right. Same as on driving on steady speed.

    For the brake calipers. The mechanics at motech did not check it. They just align it twice and gave up.

    In the end they said "sir ganun talaga minsan di maayus dito. Derecho pasok nyo po sa casa. Pero di ko naman kayo charge ng alignment. Wala po kayo babayaran"

    There are procedures to follow and pre alignment checks prior to performing alignment angles reading and correction.
    Check tires pressure size, age,condition,wear pattern.
    Check wheel bearings for proper adjustment
    Check brakes for dragging
    Place vehicle at curb weight
    Measure ride height left and right front and back
    Check rear camber
    Check rear toe
    Check front camber
    Check caster
    Check front cross camber
    Check front cross caster
    Check steering axis inclination
    Check toe out on turns
    Check thrust angle
    Check front toe.
    Check front wheel setback
    Check steering wheel over center adjustment
    In that sequence.
