Haha! When I read the post, I thought he was talking about the stock stance (which typically has a lean that can be corrected by adjustable coilovers). I didn't realize it was an alignment issue.

a car will naturally drift toward the gutter of whichever side of the road it's on. for most of us, and around residential streets--that's the right side of the road.

I do notice that but this is significant. the second I let go of the steering wheel no matter which side the road tilts it pulls to the right. I will drop by the dealership this weekend and let them have a look.

Sounds like poor alignment then, if you say if the the crown of the road is on the left and the car goes to the right anyways, when it would be following the crown.

I'm not so sure about having a factory alignemnt done as you might as well bring it to a dedicated alignment shop who would know what they are doing besides the dealership doing a factory alignment and or simply matching up the lights to be simply green.

let me get them to check my steering wheel first. I have a strange feeling that its not fully center.
