could be the drop links but it does sound like the tracking needs doing properly but make sure the drop links are fitted before the tracking is re adjusted

i would image its pulling because the tracking is out. drop links/ more commonly known as antiroll bar links would not have any effect on the tracking unless they were detached.
assuming all is well with the rest of your suspension and steering ie joints etc it would suggest the tracking is still out, steering wheel alignment should be done when retracked

If it,s wearing tyres on the inner edge and there feathered then it,s got to be toe out on the alignment.
