There are several things tha can make a car pull,and it still be within spec's!! Crown of the road can,as so can a bad tire,air pressure and other factors!!But the biggest thing I've found is Lazy alignment men or non experienced technicians that don't really know or understand what the hell their doing!!!!I call them Toe and Go Artists!!
Post your year of vehicle, tire pressure of each tire and the read out so I can look at it and see what things look like,maybe I can help,I assume it's a Corvette!! I've had to shift suspension cradles and other components to get a good alignment!! Most alignment guys just won't go the extra mile because there paid by production and not by the hour!!
