Default Front end alignment problem?

1991 CRX Si (stock, except a Stage 1 clutch and pressure plate)

Problem:
When driving on a very smooth highway (at over 60mph), my CRX has a slight intermittant (and annoying) pull to the right. Feels like the right wheel is turning slightly to the right. All the tires are at 28psi and in good condition.

Any ideas on what's causing this?
(a few of my suspects: bad ball joint, right-front wheel bearing going bad, maybe a shock going bad)

Any diagnosis tips to solve this problem?

Go to an alignment shop and have them check it out. I'd leave that kind of stuff to the pros. If it's not the alignment they may be able to tell you so you'll know the next step.

Focus on the tie rod ends first, they are usually the first to go.

Mine seems to be doing the same, while the cars parked I can wobble the right front rim like its not bolted on. I'm checking this afternoon
