Steering: Pulling

My `95 150 steering pulls slightly to the right and I'm wondering if this could be the steering gear or perhaps the tie-rods. alignment checked good. tie rods look good..

follow-up

the truck was hit broadside about 4 yrs ago. The front left wheel absorbed the impact. Low speed. I had the front end looked at -no damage. Fast forwarding -there doesn't appear to be any front end damage now, though I'm guessing the pulling might be related to this accident. Last night I checked the steering and it has considerable play. I guess I should tighten the steering gear for starters. Any help is appreciated -one mechanic say's the front end is fine whereby another says I need tie rods. Truck's got 75000 ( not hard ) miles on it.

Are you 100% tire pressure equal? Don't laugh I have seen it more than once. Other than that get a good alignment shop to look at it. Even if accident tweaked it , a good shop with frame machine can fix it. The secert is a good alignment shop.
