in all honestly. just about no dealership is out to rape you but most aren't going to go out of their way to give away warranty labor.
anytime a car is under warranty and you're coming in with a legitamite concern tehy SHOULD not charge you a diagnostic fee. they should look at it for free. if it's beyond a quick ecu plug in and or visual/physical exam they will give you an estimate that you must agree to before they do it.
if they do it and it's all good and you're still under warranty no charge , if they do it and theres a problem covered by warranty no charge , if theres a problem which is not covered by your warranty , or it looks to be caused by abuse or owners fault/modification they will charge you for the diagnostic/inspection as well as any repairs you want them to do.

The dealer was running behind schedule cause of the holidays. The dealer is one of those high volume ones. Next time I'm just gonna take it to the middle of nowhere dealer that's never busy. Now it's the waiting game.

Could I flatten out the right side by driving around all the time with some plate weights on the passenger side? Maybe a couple 45 pounders? I tried to compress the right side by making quicker left turns 
but it still leans because I'm usually the only one driving. My old car had this but I expected it on a car that old

I still say swapping springs from side to side should either make it lean the other way or make it level. Almost sounds like they put xA springs on the left and xB springs on the right. LOL

i have an 06 xb and mines does this also but sits evenly. one side is NOT lower than the other.
i'm currently on s-techs. i've noticed that when i set my steering wheel straight, my rims stick out more one the right that left.
does this mean i need an alignment?
it looks like one side's offset is lower than the other. when actually, they are both the same offsets. (+25 front)
