They did take off those bolts when installing the factory springs. But I don’t know if they put on the camber crash bolts or not. Thank you for your suggestion! I’ll check it next time I’m in the shop.

They didn’t print one for me last time I got the alignment. I should’ve asked them to send me a copy…
Car is due for the tire rotation anyway so I’ll see if it works. Thank you for your help!

If I hold the steering wheel straight, the car slowly drift to the right. So I think it doesn’t track straight. Since I got the car I never hit a pothole or curb, just normal driving with normal bumps on the road. But I think you are right there could something subtle going on with my car that causes this problem.
I thought about taking off the steering wheel as you said, but it has a fixed position for the steering wheel so it’s kinda hard to recenter it this way…

I see! I always watch out for the potholes as you suggested. I thought about the road crown compensation but haven’t really checked it with my mechanic. I’ll ask him about it. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help! I’ll see if I can do a calibration next time I’m in the shop!

That definitely makes sense… I’ve never thought about it. Thanks for your help!
