Wheel center drifting

Wheel center drifting
I have a 997.2 GTS that seems to have a problem with the steering wheel center point gradually drifting left. Stock suspension other than Tarrett Cup car LCAs.
Been aligned by an indy mechanic I trust greatly. This has been an issue for years - after winter storage one year it was off maybe 1-2 degrees. Now, after a good alignment and several months of DE/AX, it is off again, perhaps 1-2 degrees. My mechanic checked the tie rods and general suspension components around same and they appeared tight and good.
Alignment is straight and true, just with the wheels natural center point 1-2 degrees left of center (just to the extent it is bothersome). Fairly sure it is not a perception/road camber thing.
Thoughts?

I have had this too - once after delivery, and then again after new steering rack installed - dealer corrected it both times. I almost felt bad complaining it was so slight, but it bugged me to death every day - couldn't go on like that.

Sorry - correction, mine didn't drift - it was simply off center, and once corrected hasn't been an issue. I'm sure you have looked at tire wear and pressure.

Just saw this thread. I have the exact same issue on my 2012 GTS. Wheel is 1 degree off center to the left (if I straighten the wheel to 0 deg I begin to very slowly drift right). I've simply gotten used to it and will ask my indy to adjust for it next time I get an alignment, but it does bug me a bit sometimes.
