Car pulls slightly to the left since purchase - Page 2

Having the same problems as well. But whats weird is that my car didnt start pulling left till about 400 miles. Never drove it crazy or hit a pothole? Just started doing it one day.

Went to go schedule an appointment today to get it fixed.
I wasnt really paying attention to the tech because I was being distracted, but I believe he said that he was going to have to recenter the steering wheel and probably do an alignment? Also that it would only take about 3 hours at the most.

To all the people that had the similar problem fixed, does that sound right?

yes, that sounds about right, part of the computer alignment process is centering the steering wheel with setting the proper toe.
I just did an STi alignment last weekend denial512, and the STi has adjustable front camber, NOT rear. (although you can only get about a degree of camber out of it)

Maybe I misunderstood him.. maybe it was that the car was already at one end allowable adjustment, and he couldn't move it any more.
