My car has been drifting to the right slightly (ie. if I let the steering wheel go, the car will drift to the right by itself and I have to correct the steering left). It only started drifted to the right in the last month of so. I think it may be due to the tyre wear. I have checked the tyre pressure to make sure that it is not causing the drift. My question is should I get a wheel alignment at the tyre shop when the new Contis are put on? The reason I ask is because I read somewhere that the alignment/drifting became worse after a wheel alignment was done. I'm planning to get the tyre shop to provide me with the alignment record. But is it possible for the car to drift when the alignment record shows the correct values?
Try swapping your tyres left to right first.
