2023 Audi S5 — car pulls right even though alignment is green

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? Mileage is about 18,000.

Following up on car pulls right even though alignment is: still happening, but I have better notes now. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2023 Audi S5 before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Do that first. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2023 Audi S5. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2023 Audi S5, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2023 Audi S5 in Los Angeles. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
