I've been noticing the same on my '99 lately. And with people following
me closer than ever before in the last month, I am ALWAYS worried that
one of these sensations really is someone hitting me.

You deserve a properly-working vehicle. Period. Moving tires is a
lame, half-assed attempt at fooling you. Think about it. If you're
pulling to the right ONLY when braking, it's probably related to the
brakes, else you'd be pulling right ALL THE TIME.

If you aren't happy with the service, start moving up the chain of
command (service manager, dealership manager, district manager) with
complaints or/and move on to another dealer. Talk to people you know at
work or anywhere else about where they get their Chrysler vehicles
worked on (assuming they own one). I was seriously disappointed with
the dealer (5-Star) I first took my truck to when I moved here and went
to the other local 5-Star dealer and was treated very, very well.
