Default 2011 Civic SI alignment problem

I just bought a new 2011 SI sedan last Tuesday, love the car, but right off the bat I noticed it would pull slightly to the right. I only have Tuesday's off so I called them up the next day and scheduled to go in the following Tuesday(today) to get it checked out. After they finished, the service guy told me that they made a few minor adjustments and gave me a bunch of BS about torque steer and the crown of the road, I know about all of this and this problem goes beyond that. So I leave the dealership, go down the road, same problem. I go back in and tell the service writer to take a ride with me, he does and heads off my rant to him by saying the technician who worked on my car mentioned to him that my right rear control arm did not have much adjustment in it and that the control arm may have been manufactured improperly, why he did not tell me this in the first place and let me drive off before is beyond me. My question is, has anyone ever heard of this or have any insight on this particular problem?

it would help greatly if you had a copy of the alignment sheet printout.

it could be a tire pull. rotating the tires will help identify such a problem.

Sorry, I don't have the sheet. But they did rotate the tires and the problem persists.
