I am having this exact problem with an 05 Kia. New tires and an "aligment" later(can you call it an alignment when all they adjust is the TOE??) it stills pulls just as much.

I can tell you the problem right now and my service guy and I are about to have it out over this: you have to make your car adjustable. You have three adjustable bolts up there controlling your alignment and usually these are housed in a slot, thus making it adjustable. On some cars there is no slot and a slot has to be bored out to adjust the camber or caster--this is not unique to Kia, common on GM cars too, apparently.

So that's the story. They will eventually try to sell you a bearing package and rotate your tires ad nauseum but that isn't going to help. You have to reset that stinking camber.
