Check the run-out on your discs it sounds like you might have a braking problem.......

Another thing -- the spring should be seated correctly at the mount -- the top tip of the spring needs to rest on the stop on the mount.
How are the other suspension parts: 2 outer tie rods, 2 inner tie rods?
DO you hear anything?

Could be bad tires. Even if they look fine the rubber could be separating from the steel belts. I have had it happen to me and thought the front end was falling off the car. Had it towed to the dealer only to find ou it was just the tires. Same thing happened to my in laws. Both times they were Pirelli P6 tires. Have not had Pirelli's since.

it happens alot after an alignment. the shop puts everything at 0 as much as possible, after that if you have any pulling it could be related to tires, tire pressure, lugs..
mine was aligned and pulled like crazy, once i put on my new winter tires it was straight as an arrow. I know once i go back to my summers it will pull
try a tire rotation if it changes at all, its probably that

your problem is on the right side , if you touch the brakes and it pulls to the left your problem is on the right side if you hit your brakes and it pulls to the right its your left side , sounds like you have a warped rotor ( the wobble) the problem with the pulling sounds like a bad caliper or brake hose , only if it happenes while you brake , also a bad caliper will make it pull with NO brakes being applyed . so what ever side its pulling to its the opposite side that is giving you the problem

well i tried to spin the wheels with the car off the ground and it in neutral and well the drivers side rotor rubs and spins of and on and the passenger side is like the brake is lightly on all the time, would have over tightening the lug bolts with an impact wrench and driving on them possibly warp the rotors?

Who put the wheels on? I had a tire shop rotate & balance tires on a S90 and they put the wheel on wrong. Wedged the pin in one of the wheel space studs and cause the wheel to wobble like crazy but it didn't pull.
I had a pull once on my 850, though a wheel was falling off and it turned out that the tire shop put one of the wheels on so the directional tire was turning in the wrong direction.
As for having the car off the ground and the wheels spinning, that is not easy since the car is FWD. If they do turn, they should turn smoothly. Bad rotors shouldn't make the car pull.

they do not turn smoothly i can hear and feel the friction from the rotor draggin on both sides its just worse on the passenger side, tires are going the right direction, a long time ago i had used an impact wrench to put the wheels on until recently i found a thing not to over tighten the wheel lug bolts.
