Slight pull to the left!!

This starting to get annoying but whenever i drive the car tends to pull to the left slowly, not aggressive pulling but just enough to annoy me, i can daily drive it fine but on long trips it tends to bother the hell outta me. Newer tires but i replaced inner and outer tierods, front and rear sway bar links+bushings and then got all 4 wheels balanced and alignment after. Even swap tires from front to rear to see if it was the problem but no luck. Next thing is maybe control arm? Any suggestion before i start throwing more money at it. -TIA

take it back to the alignment place and tell them it pulls to the left. No point in just throwing parts at it, if the alignment place can't fix it then they should tell you what part is busted. If they can't fix it / figure it out then find a better alignment shop.

Yeah sometimes alignment exposes problems elsewhere, had the same issue happen with a friend's 13 STI. He swapped wheels/tires, steering rack bushings and other various items before he finally paid another shop to return it to the original specs he had before the alignment was done and that made 90% of the pull go away. So if the alignment shop can't fix it then keep this in mind as an option before spending money on more parts.

Just to confirm this pull is only when accelerating or decelerating? For my friend it ended up being a worn diff from the previous owner doing too many AWD circle burnouts and he had to replace a diff with another used low mileage one. If it's pulling just as hard while coasting then most likely it's suspension related and not drive line.
