Did they print out a before and after print of the alignment? Did you tell them that you were concerned about the drifting so they could make sure it was fixed? I would bring the van back and let them know that it still drifts off of the road. I'm shure that they will want a happy customer.

What year of Windstar? I don't know where the filter is, but mentioning the year would help others tell you where it is. I would think (never had a vehical with one) that it would be in the front where the air comes into the van.

its a 2002 winstar and yes we did say it drifts to the right and no I don't think we have a print out of the before and after.I did go back they said they would look at it again on monday,I am just wondering if they could be ripping us off.

The cabin air filter on my 2000 Windstar can be found in the cowl, just below where the hood meets the cowl. It's behind a plastic cover.

Conveniently, this article includes a Windstar cabin filter picture:

There are other things that can cause your van to pull to one side.....there could be a variety of issues with the tires.....they normally would ballance the tire pressure (same pressure on both sides) which is a possible cause....

Another possible cause could be a dragging brake.....does not take much drag to cause the pull.
