okay i just had an alignment done last weekend. steering wheel is finally straight and car seems straight. i got my wheels re-balanced and rotated. i put on my old rotors because i think the fronts got warped. anyways i want my car to drive straight but it still drifts a tad to the right if i let go the steering wheel for more than 5 seconds...what is causing this. myth or fact about the crown of the road is slightly right and causes cars to drift? my gf's accord stays straight, why cant my celica???

ya mine drifts to the right usually too, its the roads curvature, dont worry about it. but to make sure, take it to a road or parking lot that you know is relatively flat and see if it drifts.
