Hi everyone, found out earlier my 5k miles q5 2013 pulled left and got alignment corrected with dealership under warranty. Its much better now, but still slightly pulling left, can anyone point out if alignment specs are good.

The print out is self explanatory for you--before, specs and after.

But meanwhile, how is your tire wear, especially in front? If the prior alignment (or suspension issue) took off a bunch of the edge of either of the front tires, it's perhaps "all over" until new ones, especially the respective inside edges. Alignment in the spec position won't overcome something like this. Sometimes you can rotate them to the back if that happens, assuming the rear ones have a more consistent wear pattern across the tread.

tire pressure may cause this too.

Thanks, my original goodyear tires were making noise at 800 miles and i thought i was defective tires and swapped to Michelin at 4k miles. Installer did tell me that one of four original tires wore out fast than other threes. I didnt really notice until one of my friend drove my car and pointed out car was pulling left severely. Anyhow, just worry that tire might wear out fast again, dont really wanna spend money on new tires again. Thanks again!

I don't want to be overly simplistic, but all cars will drift depending on the drainage tilt of the roadway. If it is drainage tilted to the left, the vehicle will drift left. FWIW

The alignment could be spot on and you still get a pull. Simple way to find out if the "pull" is alignment or tires is to swap the tires side to side. If the pull is eliminated or changes direction (now pulls right instead of left)with the tires - it's a tire issue. I have had to move tires around the four corners to eliminate a tire pull.
