normal....the camber of most roads is to allow water runoff.

bigger wheels/tyres tend to track more on the road

Sounds like whoever did your alignment doesn't really know what they are doing.
Mind you, its almost impossible to find a person that can wheel align a car properly.
I had new tyres + align a while ago and the car would pull left when you let go of the wheel. Took it back to the shop and they said "You shouldnt be letting go of the wheel while you drive".
Maybe see if your local subaru mechanic can recommend a good wheel aligner that knows the suspension setup of these cars.

different tyres

thanks for the comments guys

I'm actually talking about the car turning left on the occasional FLAT road i come across

I wouldn't surprise me if the Bob Jane i went to was dodgy, they didn't convince me of their competance with much else...

anyone here have actual knowledge of what parts are actually out of wack?

Most wheel alignments are just alterations to the nuts on the tie rod.

So you are saying that... regardless of the camber of the road your car will still steer straight when the wheel is let go?
on 100% level road, and on road with a  few degrees camber heading down towards the gutter?

And obviously if you have to use effort to hold the steering wheel in one direction to stop it from pulling off the road its a **** set-up.. but the type we are talking about you wont notice unless you let go of the wheel.

Here's another one for ya.

Just the 08 Wrx wheel aligned. He has actually put 1/2 a degree of negative camber more on the passenger side front. He says that this is australian standard........ i think its bull actually. I took it back to ask some q's and he said to me
" If i put the same camber on the front wheels, no only will it pull HARDER to the left but it will actually make the car a bit nervous"

Go figure that one out!!! Im taking it back into subaru for some warrenty stuff and gunna ask them.

How hard is it pulling? Hit a gutter/hole recently? Could be a bent control arm.

when getting aligned at a reputable suspension mob, tell them its for the track, and not a public road

Pfffft, Get rid of the fat missus/mate in the passenger seat and it should track fine.
