On a straight and level road with the steering centered accelerate at various levels (slight pressure on gas to WFO). Does the steering wheel rotate in either direction? It really shouldn't, expect possibly slightly on the WFO test. Do it from standing start and at various rolling speeds. Make notes...
Also, on the same road, and from various speeds and with various levels of braking, with your hands off the wheel, does the wheel rotate in either direction?
Report back your findings back to us...

I will try to drive with dealer folks today. There is a nice long ramp right by a dealer.
Hopefully they will pick that up.
I will probably let them drive and ask them accelerate to 60mph or 65mph (posted speed at the highway there).
When I am moving wheel from left right - I feel that I am in control and no wanders.
When wheel in straight position, I could feel that car slightly moving from side to side (with different tire inflation car would just pull to one direction)
So I am planning to do a four wheel alignment at another place after I am done with the dealer.
They mentioned that they aligned wheels at the time of repair and did check that again yesterday

Wonder - a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.
Wander - walk or move in a leisurely, casual, or aimless way.

For those who was wondering about my car wandering - it is confirmed now that the alignment was off "bay a hair" according to my Advisor ( or Adviser? Sorry, I am a jerk too :-))

Problem solved!
After keeping my car for 2 days, dealer found that right front wheel needed some correction.
They performed a toe adjustment and car is rolling like new exactly the way it was and as I loved.
Two lessons:
- One for me: Always trust your feelings. If you are not comfortable - something definitely wrong.
- Dealer who claiming a world class service should do things on the first try.
