please help with steering issue

hey all, sorry but the search function doesn't work again, plus i've tried to find this issue and couldn't before when it did work. i did post this under 5th gen, but perhaps some of you guys would know considering the dealership told me that it was an issue with 2000-2001 even though they found the resolution to that problem and not mine.

anyway, here's the issue that i'm having. my car will continue to steer to the right no matter what the issue is. i've had it aligned 3 times now within a month. after alignment, it works fine for probably a day or two, but then will continue to pull to the right. the issue is that it pulls really hard. i've had tires plus take a look at it and there definately is a problem, but they don't know what it is. i've brought it to the dealership and after them "taking" some money from me, they still can't find out what the problem is.

please help with this situation. it's very annoying that a '03 with 24k miles on it is doing this. the dealership mentioned "separation" in the tires, but tires plus said that they could find anything. even when i went in there and said that i'm buying new tires. the guy is was very knowledgable and so i don't think that he's willing to lose commission over nothing.

i did change the brakes on my car the other day and noticed that my right front was very loose when "rotating" or moving it forwards and backwards. probably an inch leway both ways. not side to side, but front and back. perhaps this will help in the diagnosis.

sorry for the long post, but i could really use some help in this matter. perhaps even a nissan 1-800 # is going to be the final solution. thanks again.
