Default Front end pulling left and right - alignment?

Started to notice this yesterday, thought maybe it was a warped portion of road but I'm still noticing this. Haven't hit any major potholes and tire pressures are normal. Searched this forum and didn't find anything about alignment going out without cause. Any help would be appreciated. Of course if it persists, it will be taken to JLR.

No idea why it might go out of alignment, but it sounds like it is toed out rather than in.

Do you notice it on specific roads and not on others? Tramlining, perhaps? This drove me nuts on previous cars, before I had heard of tramlining.

This is what I originally attributed it to... But after it happened again on roads that I regularly drive, it made me think it wasn't tramlining. Going to monitor for now I suppose

Is this an easy fix from JLR if so...?

Tramlining will also vary per tire. Are you on OEM tires or did you switch to something other than OEM?

In that case, start with an alignment check.

Also verify your pressures my PSS will tramline worse when down on pressure.

It may also be the alignment, bad toe or mismatched camber, or caster.

Mine was pretty bad when new, and I had it redone with new tires and its perfect.
