Equally important is
tire pressure. I check tire pressures regularly, like every third day or so. Last week it started pulling to the right, but I attributed it to the cuts in the highway, or the slope of the road. It kept up and I was fearing needing another alignment (just had one 6 weeks ago before taking it to DE)., Anyway, I checked tire pressures and sure enough, right front was 2 (as in TWO) pounds low. Filled it up to 32 psi and presto... no more pull. Its amazing, to me anyway, that such a small difference in tire pressure made such a difference in the way the car handled. On the other hand... 2 psi is about 6% for a 32 psi tire.
Moral... get an alignment, but check your tire pressures too...often!
