Shawn,

I have the same issue with my 850. It is perfectly alligned, and yet pulls. The wheels are balanced as well.. This is what is going on (in my case). After having the wheels aligned and balanced, the car still pulled left. What we did was switch tires (i.e. left on right and vice versa). The car magically began pulling to the right. What we found is that although all the wheels were balanced, meaning no heavy spots, one was just a bit bigger than the other. It is a defect in the tire. When you figure out which one is to blame, put it in the rear and it won't make such a big difference in driving. When I had it in the front it pulled a lot more than the same tire in the rear.

Try rotating the tires lft -> rt. Tell me if this is it.
