If you have an S2k that does NOT veer slightly to the right, please let us know. In other words, when you point the steering wheel straight on a flat road, your car does not immediately veer right.
All cars are going to eventually start to veer one way or another after taking your hand off the wheel after several seconds, but I believe the problems some of us are having is that the car IMMEDIATELY begins to pull right.
You know how these dealers like to tell you, "they all do that" just to get you out of their hair. It would be nice to go to the dealer and tell them they ALL DON'T veer to the right, and make them do the damn alignment until they get it right.

Mine goes straight, but I try to keep letting go of the wheel to a minimum!
I've seen this topic beat to death on other forums. They even gave it an acronym "PTTR".
Basically, unless your steering wheel is off-center, or the car acutally pulls right (not just drift right when letting go of the wheel), you don't need to worry about anything.
The "designed that way" is wrong, I must agree.
But you might find it interesting that truck drivers intentionally use their right hand high on the steering wheel, so that if they fall asleep they will drift into the noise-makers on the side of the highway and hopefully wake up. To a heart attack, maybe!
