I'm not aware of any special precautions since I had the alignments done at the dealer on my 330 with air suspension. The cost was comparable to outside shops. Good luck.

Roads do have a crown on them and some more than others. Would cause a drift to the right over distance -- downhill towards the drains. Not sure, but I am wondering if this is what you are seeing.

That is good to know that you have additional data to work with on the problem. Always helps. Of course, your dealer is going to say that the other vehicles are out of alignment and theirs is correct.

How are your tire pressures and tire wear?

Reminds me that when I get back to FL to have my alignment checked. PA roads are beating the heck out of my RX. Have a lifetime alignment with Firestone Complete Auto.
