Turns out the steering wheel was off by .8 degrees to the right and the front right toe was out of whack considerably. These two factors accounted for why the car would so quickly pull right and why I had to keep tugging left to keep straight. They also corrected the overall alignment front and back. The tech wanted me to go for a ride with him and we talked along the way. He said that he's done thousands of alignments, many on LS's, and mine is as "as good as or better than ideal."

On the ride home I found a few roads that I know to be relatively flat and the car tracked straight It still will drift right on crowned roads, but that is to be expected with most cars and perhaps a bit more pronounced with this one, as some of you have noted. So after all of our guesswork, the solution ended up being a proper, correctly performed alignment. Along the way I learned quite a bit and am glad to be a more knowledgeable LS owner. I suppose another silver lining here is that I experienced how Yokohama YK580's are a tremendous tire for this car. I normally would have gone with Michelin all the way, but these Yoko's are so buttery smooth, quiet, and responsive that I just had to sing their praises..a night and day difference between them and the Michelin Pilot AS 3's that were removed in an effort to track down the culprit.

This forum is incredible and I'm really glad to be a part of it. I wish you all the very best and thank you again for taking the time to help me!
