and it's already had an alignment, tire wear is perfect, wheel pulls to right when you let go of it, steering box? Havent checked air in tires but they look fine.

Start with the air pressure, then take it back to the shop that aligned it and ask them to adjust it for road crown.

Make sure the front tires are evenly inflated then swap them. I've seen tires, with no visual clue, that caused the problem. They should have evenly inflated the tires when they did the alignment, but you never know. I've seen some pretty schlock alignment jobs as well.

I really doubt that it has anything to do with the steering box. Loose, worn rack and pinions cause slop in the steering, not pulling.
