2010 Grand Caravan Alignment problems
will i look crazy if i bring this post in because i have finally bought my first new van ( always bought used) 2010 caravan sxt with 4.0 and have had alignment issues first to the left, then they replaced the left strut and installed camber bolt, now pulling to right been to the dealership 3 times in 6 weeks since i bought it
Hi , This thread is about a year old ! I called all parts stores an no can do . So I called the Dodge Dealer an they ordered it for me it was $ 47.70 + tax & Yep they won't pay a dime on labor or parts . Yep wasn't thier falt !!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot Dodge !!!! Sold me a Caravan without all the parts !!!!!!!!!!!! I hope there are no more short commings from Dodge ?????? Lovvorn, Part # 5013687AB for camber bolt or order from J.C.Whitney Part # 31981G for $ 9.79 + shipping $ 18.98 TOT . I pulled the tire & wheel . Just behind the brake rotor on the shock strut there are 2 bolts holding the strut tight . Loosen the bottom bolt a couple rounds . Then remove the top bolt completely an install the new cambolt with nut . Leave cam bolt slightly loose . Put the wheel back on the van an remove the jack . Take a socket & rachet to turn the cam bolt to the proper degree . Take a vertical level check the other front tire level for vertical bubble position for reference . Go back to the new cam bolt an turn till the bubble matches the other side an tighten both nuts on the strutt to complete . Or you can pay $ 60-$ 120 for an alignment . Good luck . My Lovvorn

I was pulling back from the parking lot and hit the 2 feet cement pole. The good thing is that I hit it with my tire rubber - because my wheels were turned to the right completely. Car just bumped a little bit - no scratches on the body and tire looks fine. However my steering wheel is now off center a little bit.
So I was thinking about wheel alignment. I just don't know if regular shops can do it (since car is equipped with Electronic Stability Control)?
Should I just go with any shop that does wheel alignment or I need to look for something special?

Any alignment shop with the proper equipment can do it...
