Wheels turning slightly to the right while driving

Whenever I drive on the freeway, the steering wheel will constantly turn slightly to the right on its own even though the road is flat.

With both hands on the steering wheel, I can feel that there is a slight pull towards the right side while driving.

I should turn the steering wheel very slightly to the left in order to make the car drive straight. If I put the steering wheel directly on the center, the car goes slightly to the right.

What should I do?

Find a small suburban block and drive around it counter-clockwise 40-50 times to even out all the right-hand turns you've been doing.

Or you could just take it to have the wheel alignment done.

Actually I had my car serviced at a shop yesterday, the mechanic there said that for the front wheels the alignment is not adjustable, just camber, is this correct? and for the rear wheels there is camber and alignment. I have no idea on those adjustments so i just let them do their job.

So I had all wheels done. But when I test drove it, the problem was still there.

I returned to the shop and he said that my suspension parts might have damage on them could have been caused by potholes that i've accidentally hit before.

This was the paper they gave me after the service. Do you know if the measurements are correct for BMW X6 SPECIFICATIONS? Hope you can help out Thanks!

It is probably the crown in the road causing the turn. I have it too. Drive it in a flat parking lot and see if it turns there.
