As a temporary fix, you can add a little bit of air to the left tire. I'm assuming you've checked pressure on all four corners already.

You have to adjust the caster to do that.

So what I'm hearing is I no longer have an excuse not order the SPL catalog..

I don't see anything that sticks out. Looks fine. How much do you weight?. I'm 6'2", 220 lbs. Mine is straight as an arrow. Did you swap the front tires left to right, right to left yet?

6'4 260 lbs. Swapped the fronts two months ago while this issue was ongoing, and noticed no changes.

The drift isn't terribly dramatic but I notice it. It impedes on my driving Zen. I've spent the last 11 months hunting down and eliminating all such impediments, so I really appreciate your help.

On the next alignment sit in the drivers seat or ballast your weight in the drivers seat.

Also, a .4 diff in left to right camber is pretty large, seems suspicious since you are drifting to the left. A set of SPL front camber/castor arms might be in your future.

I would do an alignment with you in the drivers or ballast weight and a full tank first.

Ur left camber .5 positive and ur right camber is 1.0 negative. If there is nothing broken and bushing are good, I would look there. If you lay an orange cone on its side then roll it forward, does it roll straight?

Hope this helps.

Just lean your head to the right a little bit and everything will be fine

Whichever one cares the most about the car pulling left.

You on drugs?

His camber Left is -.6. Right is -1. .4 a degree. Camber will not cause a pull. Caster will cause a pull. And his caster Left is. +4.7, Right is +4.8. You need about .75 degree for most to feel it. Thrust angle will make a car feel like it's pulling.
