Question if the alignment is within spec (had it done twice now) and the car is pulling ever so lightly to the left then what is wrong?

P.S. It really is a very small amount of pulling. I mean I let go of the wheel and it will very slowly start to go left...

I have the same problem but mine goes to the left. Go to a place that can "bend" the alignment back.

nahhhh

Its probably the natural curve of the road. Roads are CORWNED to allow for proper drainging. If you are in the left lane it will pull left ever so slightly; like you described. If you are in the right lane, it will pull right ever so slightly. A true test it to drive right up the middle of the road when no cars are around!

I'd say live with it before you have some grease monkey bend something. I had mine lowered with H&R and had the same specs you have listed. I went 35k on a set of tires and they had meat to go to 40 but winter was here! I know its hard, but relaz and try not to worry about it!
