I have a 2001 Prism that has a very slight tendency to "drift" to the right if I take my hands off of the steering wheel. I checked tire pressure and all four are at 30 PSI. Is this normal (it might have done this before but I never noticed it) and if not, what could cause this?

Actually if memory serves, this is normally a safety feature. when cars are aligned they are set to drift slightly to the right in case the driver falls asleep, they will drift off the road to the right instead of into possible oncoming traffic.
True, but what can we expect from autoforumz maggots?

Um, well its not the car, most roads are crowned, to keep the surface dry...
