No, we don't.Negative thrust angle will cause wandering to the right. The dealership alignment techs generally center the steering wheel and call it done.

It it normal to have a print out after an alignment is done?? I've had a supposed high rated shop do my truck two times and never a print out. Also truck still will not return to center after a turn.2019 Impala with the 3.6L, 29,000 miles on the car. Tires are Firestone Firehawk GT's with 8/10ths left. I cant see any abnormal wear on the tires, but I'm no expert. Something feels a little off with the way the car tracks down the road, and I'm hoping you guys can help. I'm not sure if this is a tire issue yet as I haven't rotated the tires to see if that fixes anything. I'm hoping the get that done next week.
At speeds under ~45mpg the car drifts right consistently, and on roads with a noticeable crown the car pulls right.
At higher speeds the car is a little more unpredictable. It still generally drifts right, but sometimes it seems to wander, and once in a while I can get it to track straight for a little bit.
Either way I'm constantly having to make steering adjustments or hold the steering wheel to compensate for the pull. It's not horrible to drive, but it's getting a bit annoying considering this car is fairly new. I took it to the dealership today and had an alignment done, which didn't make a bit of difference.

Thank you, I did find a GM pdf document that address alignment/pull issues and you are correct. At this point I plan on taking the car to another shop, but I also discovered that the car now has a vibration at 70mph+ that didn't exist prior to the new strut and second alignment. Not sure how much I want to spend at a second shop just to fix issues that should've been fixed or shouldn't exist.They need to get the camber centered up better. That would help some. Also adding a touch on negative camber to the right front wheel will help with a right pull. I’m talking about a touch more negative.
May want to try a different alignment shop with some seasoned techs that know a little more then just hit the green and good enough.
Man that sucks. Care to share that TSB?Thank you, I did find a GM pdf document that address alignment/pull issues and you are correct.

Anyone know of a good place to get an alignment in Lansing MI?
