2006 Scion XA Steering Question

I recently bought a scion xa 2006 and i love it..one think i noticed is that when driving at speeds faster than like 30 the steering wheel seems to be a little to the left..by this i mean that to stay dead straight you have to hold it to the left a bit, if you make it center it pulls to the right a bit, its not that you have to hold it far to the left..its barely noticeable but i did notice..alignment seems fine cause if you let the wheel go it stays perfectly straight, makes me wonder if it is just the steering wheel was put on slightly off, should i say something or not even bother if the alignment seems fine.a nyone else notice this?

Same Deal...

My 05 xA does the same deal, but only it goes to the right a bit. The only time Ive noticed was when traveling at speeds of 60-80 mph. Ive asked around, not a big deal. - JDUb

first off, make sure the tires are properly inflated. uneven pressure in the tires will make your car off balance.

second, is the street that you're on even? i mean, are the street tilted a little on one side?

Streets all crown and you having to steer slightly left is because the road tilts slightly to the right towards the curb/ditch for water drainage.
