i took my car in couple of weeks ago due to it pulling to the right, at the end of the day they said they didnt find anything, but its still pulling. What is the best way to go up to the dealer regarding this situation?

Thank you very much. This is very helpful. Mine is pulling/pushing again. This is after rotating the tires. I will print this out and take it into the dealership...

Mine was out of alignment.

After the dealer did a 4 way alignment the car drives great

Seems the TSB wants the dealer to verify there is no Radial tire pull before they proceed with an alignment.
