I was told by the tire store people that the driver's side rear tire is slightly turned into the right (toward the passenger's side) which causes the car to drift to the left. I have had 12 brand new tires on the car since.
Much to my disappointment they told me there was no fix. Chev washed their hands of the whole deal, and so did the better business bureau.
It sounds to me that there is a fix by purchasing shims? for the rear? Can you enlighten me?

Mine does the same thing. Alignment, 4 new tires, balancing, same pull to the left.
I think there is something fundamentally wrong with either the Cobalt's front end suspension, steering, or perhaps the wheels?
