The truck is pulling to the right after getting the upper and lower control arms changed (OEM) and aligned.

The truck is stock aside from a set of 33 inch Michelin ltx at2’s. I took it back to the shop after taking delivery of it due to the truck drifting to the right.

I read in other threads on here about pulling that people were suggesting to toe the front wheels in .1 degree total. I asked the shop to do it. They said that if they were to do that, the front tires would wear unevenly on the inside. They did not change the toe. They instead said that it was due to a sticking right caliper. They sent me a picture of the right and left side wheels with a temp gun pointed at it. The right side was 12 degrees hotter than the left. I’m questioning the accuracy of the assessment due to never noticing the truck pulling to the right when braking. Just more of a drift to the right when letting go of the steering wheel.

Below is a picture of the final alignment. Any help is much appreciated. I just want to get this sorted before the truck is taken on a 3,000 road trip next week.

My LX570 required multiple trips back to the tire shop to get the alignment dialed in. It's also on 33's, and also drifted to the right. Ultimately they adjusted the caster on the right side, which corrected the issue.
 
12 degrees isn't much, if it was at my shop i would swap both front tires side to side to see if that makes a difference, sometimes just the tires can cause pull. next if the issue is still there then i would add some castor on right side.
