Tracks to the right...

Had the tires on my 89 rotated and on the way home I notice the car now tracks to the right when you let go of the wheel? Tires only have 4000 miles on them and four wheel allignment was done at purchase I also replaced tie rod ends..struts..lower control arms and ball joints at this time also.. What could be causing this?
Car ran straight and true until rotation was done.

Check your front tire pressure..If they are equal then switch the two front tires around and see if that helps...
