2012 C300W4 pulling towards right

Hi,

I am newbie to this forum...
I recently (actually in May) bought 2012 C300W4 sports sedan.
It has 4000+ miles on it and I noticed that when I take my had off the steering wheel, it tends to pull towards right on a straight pavement.
I have already been to dealer twice and they kept the vehicle for day did some alignment, camber and castor settings to the spec and it still has the same problem.
I would like to know if anyone else has the same issues. My 11 year old Lexus was tracking pretty straight but not sure about these new cars.
I would also like to know what options I have if dealer is not able to fix this if it is a genuine issue with the car.
Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks,
Ab

Fit fluted bolts & dial in one more degree castor (max 2) on the passenger side than drivers side & the pull will be gone. Typically 9.6 degrees & 10.6 degrees. Method is in the Wiki.

Pull with road camber is common & easily fixed.
