Default 2006 - pulls to left

My car, since new, has alwayspulled to left on the highway. After 2 alignments, numerous tire rotations, balancing, the problem does not go away.

I see a technical service bulletin was issues about this, but I cannot get any details off the Internet.






Vehicle: 2006 Mazda MAZDA6


Summary:
STEERING PULL/DRIFT-IMPROVED DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR PROCEDURES. ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10020554 )

Does anyone know how I can get further details about what these details are?

Thanks!

Well, your case seems pretty straight forward.
Though I suppose in a modern car an ABS sensor may be overactive or misreading the situation,traditional thinking is:
If the car pulls to one side only under B-R-A-K-I-N-G, you have a caliper that"s hanging up. It could be the front caliper on the side the car pulls to, or the rear caliper on the opposite side of the car.
(i.e. Pulls right= RF caliper or LR caliper.)
