Just for the record, if by wobble you mean vibration. Vibration is rarely caused by wheel alignment. One is balance/rotating mass,the other is geometry. Not trying to be a smart a$$ but if a customer requests an alignment, you better ask why, otherwise he`ll be back in aweek complaining that his car still "shimmies". The exception is if alignment issues have caused irregular tire wear patterns that result in vibration. So correcting the alignment still won`t eliminate the shake, as the tire is the culprit

My car did the exact same thing about a week ago, it would always wander to the left no matter the gradient of the road for drainage. I took it to ford to look at it and the diagnosis was that my lower right control arm was shot. I had to get that replaced and since then my car has been running perfectly straight. Set me back a solid $310 when it was all said and done[:@]

Are you tires worn? Mine are worn and the car tracks left. I rotate the tires every 3 weeks and everything is fine for about a week, then it returns. Im basically running the tires to their death.
But yeah, maybe its your tires. Rotate them.

all vehicles ae supposed to go slightly to the right as a safety requrement, so when you fall asleep driving, the car doesn't hit oncoming traffic.......you are describing something completely different .....rotate and have them balanced....
