I just had the front and read alignment performed on my 2000 Lexus ES300. After this was done it know pulls to the left. You have to hold the steering wheel very slightly to the right. If you release the wheel it goes to the right quick enough that you can feel the change in direction if your speed is 45+ mph. When you release the wheel the wheel goes back to the center but the car go to the right. Is this an alignment problem or is it because the steering wheel was not centered during alignment?

It could be a bad alignment. Did the place you go to pring out a spec sheet of before and after specs? I had a problem like this with my car. how many miles are on your car? I ended up having to change the front strut mounts and my problem was solved.

I have replaced the front struts. It may just be my imagination because it doesn't alway pull to the left. I talked to the alignment shop and they are going to recheck the alignment. The person I deal with has a Lexus and said the steering is very sensative. I am going to drive it a couple more days just to see if it is me.

not the struts...the strut mounts. those wear down over time. check the bushings on the front control arms and such as well. worn bushings won't be able to hold an alignment. I learned the hard way after getting multiple alignments to no avail.
