2005 Avalon Limited wanders to the right.

[Bill T.]

I'm new to this forum so please bear with me.
I think this problem has been talked about before. Little history: Bought this car last February in Florida with 12,600 miles on it. Not a daily rental or a lease car. Once home from FL. I noticed on occasion when turning to the left it would not come back to straight ahead. Eventually I had the car aligned, 4 wheel. The original problem is for the most part gone, BUT, now I have a problem with the car pulling ever so slightly to the left. It will in fact go over the crown on a 3 lane highway. I have talked with the mechanic that did the alignment and he claims it is DEAD on. This is rather annoying, and is some what dangerous. I did get the mechanic to go for a ride, he driving. He did admit it is pulling to the left a bit. The plan is to put it back on the machine and adjust it a LITTLE, a degree or two to the right. This is a BIG dealer here in MA. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Other than this I LOVE this car.
Thanks in advance. I will be checking back tomorrow.

Thank you for the reply. I went to the dealer today and they printed this out for me. It came with a certain amount of Bull Crap of course, but something positive did come out of the meeting. One of the service managers suggested it may be a tire problem. He suggested I lower the pressure from 32 to 28 psi. I left, with a appointment for next Tuesday and checked the pressure in the tires, thinking I would try what he said before my next appointment. ( I keep a gauge in the car ) This is hard to admit, I found the left front tire at 25 psi and the right at 34 psi. I lowered the right to 25 psi to check out the theory. PROBLEM SOLVED. I plan to keep a check on this before Tuesday, and check that tire for a leak also. Thanks again for your input. Here is hoping all is well.
