The problem was slightly better after they "looked at it" again, and even better with new S-02's mounted a few days later, so I'm tempted to leave well enough alone. To top it off, they did the seatbelt recall and scratched the plastic rollbar cover pretty good. I think I'm going back for that.
Once again, I'm convinced that all it takes to succeed in this world is to just not screw up more than the next guy.

I had the same problem after my TSB. I took it back, and they got it close, but not perfect.
I just put new S02's on the back and had the car alligned. The steering wheel is now straight.
It sounds like the dealerships may be skipping the allignment step in the TSB.
