"When they do alignments they set it to pull to the left somewhat."
In 1970, I was 15 years old and worked for a dollar an hour at my uncle's gas station. (think Goober on the Andy Griffith show).... Anyway, my uncle always aligned cars with a slight pull to the right. Personally, I never understood that.
I think, in the days before "specs" were suppose to be followed, it was a common practice, but not today from any reputable service repair shop. I do know, I fought with my Chevy dealer repair shop a couple years ago when my truck began pulling to the right. It drove me nuts. I hated fighting the wheel. Never did figure out the cause, except after they did a tire rotation, it was worse. The told me to keep driving it, and sure enough, over the next year, ... well ... it doesn't do it any more. Drives straight as an arrow!
Tires seem to be wearing even, but who knows? Original tires, maybe one had a weak spot or something, until it wore down, or who knows what. But all is well now.
