however i have to ask again define "drifting" , like how bad?
"little pressure" is with you driving with one hand on wheel or both??
because if you understand how roads are built they are crowned in the middle(could be crowned at your left, divided highway) for drainage, drainage and .....drainage!!! it also has the benefit of drifting cars off to the right off the road!!!! and away for oncoming traffic in case you fall asleep.
so even "straight ahead" adjustment will drift you to the right no matter how straight your car is setup. UNLESS you set it up to counter or ride up the crown of the road. lol i would not.
now how much drift lol i am no expert i sugggest just be comfortable.
steering wheel should be straight, evenly spread camber( i dont think you guys can adjust your camber, just spread it evenly, moving subframe), toed in slightly and lay both hands on wheel(10 and 20clock) and just relaxing your arms on the steering wheel should be comfortable!!! and no energy or input really.
but in adjustment half a turn on left or right steering turnbuckle/tie rod should make a difference. just turn wheels to opposite side you want to adjust and can access the steering tierod. loosen jam nut and turn tierod to expand or contract it bringing that side in or out. JUST half a turn increments will be noticeable.
PS that pinch bolt is easy just use two box wrenches and in direction of LOOSENING the NUT off the bolt, turn BOTH bolt head and nut at same time to break inside corrosion and then slowly turn nut off. Also turn bolt as you are using drift to knock out the bolt.

Did it solve the problem? Do you have pneumatic suspension and if so, is the ride hight the same on all sides? A shot in the dark, but the ride hight "must" be the same/checked before doing an alignment
