Default Went to Sears for my alignment problem....they had the hunter system...more...

They said that the alignment was perfect and did not charge me anything which I thought was cool, other shops would of done it anyway and charge me. Anyway it started pulling when I slightly rubbed a curb with my rim at the gas station. I never paid the car any attention untill recently when I had to let the wheel go and I noticed it was pulling a little, nothing major but it pulls.
Anyone have an idea what else it might be if it's not the alignment or tires (did a tire rotation too)?

Default Sometimes tramlining will make you think it's the alignment...it's normal for it to do

it more on some roads more than others.

Default . . . and I think German cars have more agressive caster that exacerbates this feeling compared to

slow-steering American cars. And of course the wider the tires the worse it is.

Default What ZephyrS4 said... <more>

While driving check to see if the car follows the crown of the road. For example the car might pull slightly left while travelling in the left most lane, or it might pull right while in the right most lane. In the middle lane you should go straight. This is pretty normal.
