After I had my 03 STi geometry checked and re-set I noticed that there was a very slight tendancy to pull to the left. I noticed myself applying a tiny amount of force to the steering wheel to maintain straight and level. I put up with it for about 3 months then had it checked again. The negative camber on one side was reduced slightly and the toe re-set to zero and it seems ok now.
A problem that was noticed was that there was more caster on the offside which was suggested might increase the tendancy. As this is not adjustable in standard form, compromises have to be made?
