I'm pretty sure they put it back on the machine (although I did not get another printout). Reason I feel it was back on the machine is because the steering wheel is in the same exact "straight" position, and it drives as straight as before, only tighter.

I asked if anything looked bent or worn, they said no (and I'm sure they would've loved to sell me some new suspension parts). They said this was not the first car they had to adjust this way (they said even some brand new cars were pulling from the factory and had to be re-adjusted).

Actually, I did notice BEFORE the new tires that turning left was slightly easier than turning right but no pull. After the new tires and before the alignment, it drifted slightly to the left (I say "drift slightly" because it didn't really "pull", and I only noticed a slight drift when I let go of the wheel). Now, steering efforts are equal left and right, and it still tracks straight and drives tight.

I also looked underneath, did not find anything "bent". Wheels are in excellent shape as well. I'll keep driving it and continue to look for any changes as the tires "break-in".
