As has been hinted at here, the only thing that will make a car pull one way or another is more camber at one corner of the car. And the front of a Mazda 3 (or Mazdaspeed3) is not adjustable for camber. Only way to "adjust" it would be to bend a strut or a control arm.

Bren's comment about more camber to account for road crown is correct. It's still annoying. I even out the camber in my cars for that reason.
Well I only hit the front left wheel so I am assuming the rear would be unaffected, it is basically a brand new car. They had rear numbers on the above printout so seems like they measured it.

Still pulling to the left at times, going to rotate the tires right now to see if that makes a difference
