Default Alignment question

I have done tons of reading on this and have found many different answers.
I know that many different things can and will cause a car to pull but assuming those items are correctly adjusted and the vehicle drove perfectly straight on a flat section of the same road prior to my single toe in adjustment on the right wheel.


BTW I'm not having any issues with my car. I'm just curious what you guys think will happen.


Thanks for your info..
Mac

Can I change my answer? I don't think the right choice is there. I'm thinking steering wheel off center to the right, car would drive straight with toe-in.

Your answer is one of the choices less the actual direction the steering wheel would be turned. It just says off center.
Is one of yours the 3rd or fourth one. I'll just keep in mind where yours would have been.

Sorry, posted wrong answer - I was thinking about my rear-steer car, not the S2k. Toe-in, wheel off to the right would be correct.

Is our tie-rod in front of the pivot point or rear?
