2018 Toyota Camry — car pulls right even though alignment is green

RustBeltDaily757Community StarterDec 5, 20252018 Toyota Camry SEDenver
2018 Toyota Camry SE, about 135,000 miles. Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial pull, or look harder at caster/camber side-to-side? If I figure it out I will update the thread.

I parked the 2018 Toyota Camry and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2018 Toyota Camry in Denver, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “car pulls right even though alignment is,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2018 Toyota Camry before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Not convinced that's the whole story. If it still isn't clear on the 2018 Toyota Camry, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Just my two cents from doing this recently. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2018 Toyota Camry owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Stop there until you know. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
