Steering Issue

[NocturnalQX4]

Hey guys!

Im new to this forum, ive just recently purchased a 98 qx4. There is an issue with it, when driving straight the steering is not straight. It will be turned a slightly to the right just to go straight. I thought it was just the allignment but no lucky

I have replace tire rod ends and ball joints. Im not sure what else it could be besides the rack and pinion now. Any other suggestions? what should i look for in the front end? the axcels are good and there is a slight noise when i hit a hard bump on the drivers side. Could just be the step rail.

Any thoughts and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Thanks all

does the vehicle pull to the right while driving on a flat, level surface? or is the steering wheel just not centered?

On a flat level road to make the truck drive straight I would need to havethe steering wheel tilted. If the steering wheel is centered the truck wl drive to the left
