Nope, I'm not taking the car back to the same place, and I only discovered the problem only after 1 year despite popping the hood so many times .

It's not a tire problem either, since the problem occurs both with the winter tires on 15 inch steelies and the stock P5 tires. I'm going to have it checked at a collision repair center soon.

Thanks for all your collective advice and support. Greatly appreciated.

Your problem is most likely the tire and nothing to do with suspension. I had the same problem after i hit something and blew the right front tire up on my 2 week old 2003.5.

After getting a new tire it pulled to the right, i took it in for 2 alignments and saame thing. I decided to swap the front tires. Then it pulled to the left, so i put that tire on the back and its fine now.

Its probably a tread problem, swap the right front tire with the rear tire, and you will be a ok.
