Fresh Alignment
I noticed a slight pull to the right in my car. Not much but I like it perfect.
I had the ride height set, corner balance and alignment when I did the suspension upgrade. Is there any need to repeat the corner balance when all I need is an alignment.

Good tip from Mike on the air pressure. First, make sure that you car does indeed pull to the right and you're not just experiencing the effects of a crowned road. Drive it in the middle lane on the freeway and see if it still pulls. Also, uneven tire wear can cause a car to pull and I would always swap the front tires side to side and see if this helped . . . but most 993s will have directional tires so that may not be a good idea if yours does. Also remember that with upgraded, tighter suspensions these cars tend to tramline and follow imperfections in the road more. Try it on a smooth road. If it still pulls after all these checks then defnitely get the alignment rechecked!

Try switching the fronts l/r as suggested to see if this might be a tire issue vs an alignment problem. Even if they are directional, there is no harm if just for testing purposes. Just make sure you do it when the road is dry and not covered in water.
