Pulling to one side

Just put new ball joints, new front tires, had them balanced and had a wheel alignment done. The car drove perfect for about 10 days, now it is beginning to pull slightly to the left. I thought having the wheels aligned would cure the pull to one side. Should it? Or is there something I have overlooked that would cause it to do that? I know that I have to replace the front struts, would bad struts cause a car to go out of alignment already? Or is it possible that the place I took it to did a ****ty job of aligning the car?

Thanks for any info.

It is possible one of your strut plates could have been left loose and moved. Most alignment shops will recheck your car within a week or so maybe you should give the shop a call..

Just check the tyre pressures as well, its a known fact alloys can lose air fast if theres a bad seal, low pressure can cause a pull.
