Some cars today are built with some key alignment adjustments missing, so you're stuck with what you have. We can identify that if you can post the final values for "camber", "caster", and "toe" from the alignment printout.

When the alignment numbers are good, a pull to one side can be caused by a dragging brake, or more commonly by a tire pull. To find a tire pull, switch the two front tires side-to-side. If the car pulls the other way, you can switch the two left tires front-to-rear, then the right ones, to figure out which tire is causing the pull. That only works when one tire is at fault. Also, sometimes when the problem tire is put on the other side OR on the rear, the pull will be gone. When that happens, it's usually okay to just leave it there, and don't rotate them after that.
