Default Alignment Question

Not too long ago someone hit my rear bumper on the left in a parking lot. bumper got repaired perfectly, but since then my car started "turning" to the right(i will explain better below). and just had my alignment done, and the dealer told me except the FRONT right everything is perfect... and of course they fixed the alignment for front right and said suspension and everything else are fine.

So what i meant "turning" to the right is when i drive in city if i release the steering wheel and gas pedal my car will start turning to the right slightly and slowly, and i can see the steering wheel is turning about 5 degree t to the right. but if i do not release the pedal or accelerate without holding steering wheel, the car is going straight.

it just confused me because my car used to going straight under all situation... and the parking lot accident was not serious at all there even no mark left on my tire and i was actually in my car and jumped out my car and yelled the other driver to stop.

so what do you guys think... is this normal?!

oh one other thing...i checked my tire pressure in all the tires and everything is even.

why would they align it and then tell you everything is fine but the front?

if you have problems after an accident, sometimes the only way out of a bent suspension is camber bolts: Eibach Camber Bolts

you would have to get these installed by a professional. all the other shops i went to had no idea what i was talking about.
