Default '06 with Alignment problems.

Oh wise sages of Audi World, I summon your collective wisdom to free me from Dealer run around. I've got an '06 A6 4.2 Quattro with Electronic Suspension and 18" wheels. The car goes like stink and handles better than it ought to, however there is a slight pull to the right at all speeds. Audi dealer has set the alignment once and found it to be within specs 3 additional times. Local alignment shop has set the alignment once but just as before after 3 months or so the pull has returned. Local alignment shop now claims the alignment is within specs and he suspects the front sub frame has shifted. I've had great service from this shop for the past 20 years and I want to believe him. Anyone else had a similar experience with alignment issues?

Affirmative on rotation and pressure checks. Believe me as prone to tire wear as these puppies are, I stay on top of them. Running Yokohama W4S currently, the same issue exsisted with the Continental's that came equiped with the car when new. The problem seems to be Camber related specifically. Thanks for the reply(s)
