Pulling to the left after alignment?

Pulling to the left after alignment?
I had an alignment done a while back at a Firestone. At the time, my steering wheel had went off-center out of the blue (strangely enough after I rotated my tires). The steering is straight now, but I still notice the car does pull to the left consistently when I let go of the wheel. Is this an issue of a crappy alignment job, or are there other factors that contribute to pulling? BTW, both front tires do have even tread and inflation, so I dont think its a tire pull of any kind.

Post your alignment specs.
You could also have radial pull from one of the tires you just put up front. Rotate them back and see if it stops. A simple rotation of tires should have no effect on your alignemnt. The fact that your steering wheel went off center when you rotated your tires points to a tire problem.

They may have only adjusted the toe. Camber isn't officially adjustable on our cars, but a good tech will juggle the suspension bolts to at least get it even side-to-side. Even if the toe is correct, uneven camber can cause a pull.
