Is this pretty normal

I have noticed that when i turn the steering wheel to the left there is slightly more resistance than when I turn it to the right.

I had the alignment checked at the dealership and while the print out showed that all the caster, camber and toe was in spec range, they slightly adjusted the caster/camber and toe to try and compensate for my complaint without taking it out of factory specifications.

The car drives straight but It just seems that the steering wheel is slightly less resistant when turning to the right than left.

It was like this before the alignment as well as after. My car only has 8500 miles and I'm thinking it may have been like this for a while, possibly since purchase and I have only recently noticed. I have checked tire pressue as well and its 32 all around.

Any thoughts ?

I haven't noticed this at all. Maybe because there is more weight in the driver's seat?

Hmm not sure. How about this. If you sling your steering wheel to the left, does it bounce back a little more firmly than if you sling it to the right ? Mine does so slightly
