Although the steering wheel is perfectly centered, My 98 LS400 drifts to the right when I let go of the wheel. As part of my Lexus certified warranty, the dealer said the Yokomaha tires has a radial pull and replaced all 4 new tires. I took it home and found it still drifts to the right. Lexus dealer said the alignment was perfect and that's why they replace the tires. What else can cause it? Thanks for advice.

Not sure about this, but maybe......
Hschen,
I may be caused by tire pressure, but since they're new tires probably not.

If allignment checked OK, it is probably the tires. Rotate the rear tires to the front and see if it still happens. Even though the tires look good, they can have separated belts etc.

since the car is under warranty, tell dealership to check everything. Suspension (shocks), new tires, camber. hey should go out of their way to get it fixed, otherwise read your warranty carefully and find the section where this situation is stated.
