Does it do it all the time or just certain roads? Road Crown will cause most people to think their alignment is off when it really isn't. All roads are designed to crown in the middle so that water drains away from the road surface. If it's only certain roads, then you are probably good. If it's all the time, then there is a problem. The mechanic should be able to offset the alignment to make the car track straight.

I had similar drifting/pulling (steering wheel out of sync with wheels) for the 1st yr of ownership too. Regional/District Lexus Mgr had complete suspension system tested...everything was okay. The determined I sold a bad set of Dunlop run flat tires (perhaps the car sat too long at docks or dealer lot & developed "flat spots"). Once new set of tires was installed (June '07), the drifting problem went away. From time to time, I experience the pulling/jerking sensation on high crowned or rough roads in my area, but the alignment has remained true. Sorry you're having so much trouble. Question, are experiencing pulling/drifting while driving (on accelerator) or when braking?
