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???

i have the same problem, i just always figured it went to the right a little as a "safety" feature. for example, if you fall asleep at the wheel it will go into the guardrail before on-coming traffic.
yeah...retarded i know. -------------------- |
