I never understood why the problem goes away instead of pulling the other way, but I have seen it many times. The first time I saw this was after alignment on an old Buick Rivera. It pulled to the right, the steering wheel was not centered and I was not happy. The tech swapped the front tires and the problems went away.

So in any of the lanes on the turnpike, regardless of road crest, the wheel should go straight?
I have a feeling they did not use the locking device on the gearbox but I could be wrong. Its been 9 months since they touched the 300D so I'd probably have to pay for another alignment....Its only been 3 weeks for the 420...might be able to get them to fix it at low cost or no cost.
