Default Alignment/Steering problem

Hey, Guys!

I have the NX200T 2016.

Have 22000 km on it. At 16000 km I did the service. The dealer did tires rotation. Afterwards, I noticed that when the car is on the road, it goes straight, but the steering wheel looks a little bit off centered and looks slightly to the right. I have all season tires since I purchased the car.

I drove back to the dealership; they did recommend a wheel alignment. When it was done, the service manager informed me that my right tire was way misaligned, but they fixed it.

Then I traveled over 1500 km in a month; everything was okay, today again the steering wheel began to lean to the right a little.

What do you think this is and what should I do?

Have the dealership re-check the alignment and be sure all bolts are tight to spec.

Your dealer alignment machine may be our of wack. When did they calibrate it last time? Check alignment by alternative souse (NTB, other dealer, etc.).

Thank you. Will go to another Lexus dealer. Maybe they have a better calibrated machine.
