Default 08 RX Pulls Right after Right Turns

My 08 RX350 pulls to the right after right turns. When I turn left it track’s straight/true. Several trips to alignment shop and tire rotations have not resolved the problem. Alignment shop says may be problem with steering angle/position sensor. Anyone else experience this issue? If I could only make left turns it wouldn’t be an issue. Car has about 157,000 miles.

on my SC400 worn LCA ball joints stopped the car self centring after turning. I would have thought this would have been picked during alignments, but is maybe worth checking

The alignment shop is pretty reputable but I’ll look at it to make sure. Thank you.

That sensor just reads the steering angle, nothing to do w/ your issue. I'd be looking at the strut mounts, the rack its self & to a lesser extent the b/j's & tie rod ends. How long has this been happening? Hows the p/s fluid condtion?
