Hi, I recently purchased a 2005 Porsche Cayenne S (64,000 miles). I brought it in for a service and alignment as I noticed that it would pull to right. I've read a lot of message boards saying this could happen with larger vehicles, wide tires, etc. I drive the same road with a my Silverado Crew Cab with 20" wheels and wide tires and never feel it pull to the right.
The alignment service didn't seem to fix the problem. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of behavior? If so, what fixed it. Maybe there are some other things that could cause it besides alignment???? I just don't know what it could be but I'd like to get it fixed. Other than the pull to the right I love the vehicle.
Although it's hardly noticeable I think the steering wheel is turned slightly to the right and might be the cause. Is it possible the steering wheel / mechanisms need to be re-centered / aligned? I'm not sure if my model has the servotronic system but I thought it might need calibrated as well. As you can see I'm searching every angle for a solution and desperately need some expert advice...
Thanks for any advice or tips to help me solve this problem.

thank you rizzo and odix.
Rizzo - It's comforting to know that others have the same experience.
Odix - i found and read your earlier post about crown/camber in roads; the wide tires and driving it in a flat parking lot; that's something I plan to do very soon. I hope that the road along with the short wheel base and and wide tires is the reason for the drifting I notice. The Cayenne is different than any other vehicle I've owned. I'm just not used to the drifting I've felt and wanted to make sure there wasn't something that needs corrected.
