My '02 5 speed isn't covered by the pull to right TSB but it has it bad. Tire rotations and alignment don't make a difference. It actually only occurs when the engine is under load, it goes straight when decelerating or going down hills. As soon as you give it gas it starts veering right. you really have to fight the wheel at freeway speeds, especially when going uphill or into a wind. So it seems like a torque steer issue. It is going to the dealer next week to see if I can get something done before it hits 36K miles, it is at 33K now and has been pulling since new. I was thinking a strut bar may help, I dunno!

I dont think it will help to be honest. strut bars normally help when you are turning. in this case you are trying to go straight and stop the car from turning.

have you checked to see if the tire pressure in all 4 tires is correct. also is the wear pretty even between all the tires?
