Yes they did, on both shops but when I ride I have to compensate.

The picture attached show where the steering wheel goes without any imput.

I am assuming that the comment re: and the wheels moving freely was ascertained after the front axle was lifted on a jack. If so it's possible that when you brake the piston/slide is reluctant to move back due, to dirt or rust, so jack up again, put the brakes on and quickly check for free rotation.
Also check the back brakes and see if during the lift the h/brake cable was inadvertently snagged causing the near side to drag.

Another thought. You drive on the right so if your Jimny is pulling to the left it is climbing up the camber of the road.
This is very odd!

Thanks Roger.

Update: I have the car back, the car still pull to the left (not as much as before) and the steering wheel still not centered, going back to the dealership tomorrow.

The only thing left to check is the caster correction bushes that were installed with the suspension kit. Does anyone have an instruction manual for these? My kit arrived without one.
