I can assure you not all plants are created equal. I've worked in 6 of them, all with astounding differences in processes and quality control.

And unless some members on here are lying about missing bolts/screws from the factory, that part of that statement is just a regurgitated fact.

Start fresh with new oil after break in period.
Great idea. I'm going to do the same once I lower on stock bolts

I had the same problem of steering pulls to the right at highway speeds. I took it to the dealer and was aware of this problem and showed me a GM PI that addresses this problem.
It's #PIC5975A: Steering Pulls To The Right At Highway Speeds shown below.

Thank you for that. I have a brand new 2015 though. Fresh off the factory... Makes me wonder if it's still an issue.
