2010 SXT Charger

July 20, 2011, 08:17:38 AM
I just bought a 2010 charger and when I test drove it pulled to the right so I told them they need to fix it no problem. Car has gone thru and alignment, new set of tires and rims. All the suspension parts have been checked nothing bent or broken nor loose. I have owned the car for 8 days and nothing resolved. I have had loaner cars more than my own and none of then pull to right like mine does even with my org rims and tires. Does anyone know of anything? The dealership and I are both at a loss!

:yesnod: If that doesn't fix it I would give the car back. Something somewhere is wrong.

I am fighting that with my Corvette right now. The dealer aligned it to the center range of the spec for the car. Still pulled right. Dealer told me to get the tires replaced. Took it to Firestone, they put on two brand new front tires, (not cheap!) still pulls right. Firestone checked the alignment and says for a race car it is perfect, for a street car it needs the caster on one wheel moved a little to make up for crown in the road. They said take it back to the dealer to adjust the alignment. So here I sit, Corvette stills pulls to the right till I can get it back to the dealer, or have Firestone align it.

You may be fighting the same thing. Keep us informed.

I noticed you cant trust these people that use the machine and thats it, they dont truly know how to align something unless the computer tells them.

I took my charger to sears (the 73, friend worked there so i figured what the hell and the car was a driver) the bushings where a little worn but nothing major..the guy couldnt get it right...hours later still. I brought it to another shop that a friend recommended. The guy was great, talked to me and said its going to be hard to get perfect because the lower control arm bushings needed replacement but he said he would try. He hooked it to the computer got the numbers and than set it to where HE said it would be best/help make up for the worn bushings....drove it out and it was PERFECT. You need to find someone that truly understands how things work and isnt one of those people with no true skills unless the computer tells them.
