I am experiencing a left and right steering wheel pull upon accelerating and decelerating, most noticeable above 55 mph.
My fluid levels are all acceptable.

I have recently installed new Michelin tires, had a front end alignment and new brakes. Air pressure is set at 33 psi.

My ball joints are good and also all steering components as per my mechanic.

The problem persists and he is unable to find a problem.

This may sound strange but check or have the rear control arms checked. On my 99 Grand Cherokee had the same problem and found a bushing in one that was bad. Replaced the arm problem solved. See when one of those rear arm bushing go bad it allows the rear end to move and you feel it by having to correct it from the front.
