Default pulling to the right

i just had the track bar replaced and the alignment done and the gear box just started to leak a lil more than normal would the gear box make it pull to the right? i also just had tires balanced and rotated and at about 70mph it has a lil shake to it maybe didnt balance them right?

its hard to find a good alignment guy. I don't think the gear box would cause a pull.

my 08 is pulling to the right too. i had the dealer work on it for ball joints. they tore up one wheel bearing removing it and i think the other one is messed up. alot of times pulling means out of line but i have had it lined twice.

Don't rule out the tires, themselves. A defective tire can cause a pull and that vibration, due to steel belts snapped inside the tire.

Could try swapping the two front tires and see if it then pulls in the opposite direction. If it does, then it's time to replace those two front tires, or collect on that tire replacement, warranty.

Jack the front end up & try moving the wheel/tire, if there is play it's the wheel bearing. The wheel bearings are sealed in the entire hub assembly, so that would have to be replaced as one. Just be careful when knocking the studs out and drawing them back in, it's not fun
