Question Alignment problems

I need some advice on my 05RL with approx 38k miles. For about three months (especially on the highway it seems) it has been tracking to the right more that I think is normal. If you let go of the steering wheel, within 2-3 seconds you're slowly changing lanes to the right. It's biased to the right enough where it seems like I am intentionally changing lanes (if this helps describe it) within a five second timeframe. Everything about the alignment is within specifications (two or three trips to NTB) with the possible exception of the left caster (2.6-2.7 degrees). The right caster is 2.4 degrees.

I'm curious to know how anyone elses' RL "tracks" on the highway. Trust me when I tell you it's NOT the crown in the road(s), the tires (started on OEM Michelins and just put Continnential DWS Extremes on) and/or a strong crosswind.

Put an extra 2 or 3 pounds in the right front wheel and about 1 pound in the right rear wheel and see what it does.

Yeah, that's what the alignment place has been telling me but I feel like that is a "work-around". I've played with just 1-2lbs more in the RH front and didn't seem to make a difference. I'll put 3 pounds in the front and a couple more in the back and see what happens. Going to do it right now, keep fingers crossed!

Ehhh, not really. It still wants to go right (31psi in LH front, 35psi in RH).
