I set my steering wheel straight and my car goes straight--so far so good. But as soon as I let go of the steering wheel, my car slowly pulls to the right. So I took my car in to a dealer for an alignment. After the alignment, I tested my car over a week and it still has this same problem.
There has been a thread about this issue before. Check the search tool for the thread. CL members have thrown out a couple of ideas as to what the cause could be.
Thanks for posting that link. haha They have a TSIB on there for NAVIGATION SYSTEM VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM "TALK BACK" MALFUNCTION. 80% of the time when I ask my nav to do something, I get a totally difference response as to what I wanted it to do.
I had the same problem and after I got my alignment done at the dealership it still kept pulling to the right so I went back and asked for the before and after specs on my toe so when I asked that my SA went ahead and re-did the alignment again. :-)
i have this prob too but my steering wheel doesn't seem to be centered when im trying to go straight... when i let go of the wheel it pulls slightly to the right. I think i may need a alignment again too.

just get it aligned when you throw on the rims and then do it again about a month after you lower the car.
there sure does seem to be a lot of TSIB for our car being a Lexus???
Don't forget roads are crowned ( higher in the center ) so that rain runs off them. That will naturally pull your car to the right. Does your car pull to the right when driving on a flat, smooth parking lot ?
The problem with the dealership is that you get idiots who read the spec sheet from the alignment machine and say "it's within spec"; a phrase I'm coming to despise. If you go to the dealership for an alignment, tell them to put it up on the machine, measure it, then come ask you what to do next. At that point you can tell them what you want.
