Truck drifts to the left after alignment...
I have a 2001 F150 and had a set of Cooper Discoverer MTs installed replacing the Goodyear Wranglers. Tire guy said the alignment look pretty good based on the tread of the Wranglers.
A month or so after installing the new tires I took it back for a alignment just to be safe. Now it drifts to the left slightly and I have to overcompensate the steering wheel.
I took it back and they drove it and adjusted it several times but they said that Ford has been know for a slight drift. I have owned this truck sense 2003 and its never drifted.
Is it typical for a F159 to drift??

^^^ Possibly, but F150's aren't known fer it.
Find another alignment shop that's competent.
Tire pressures? Just a thought - are the tires the same size?
Just another thought - part II: perhaps yer front-end components are simply worn to the point that holding an alignment is no longer possible.
good luck
