Default Magnum Alignment, any updates?

Is there any updates to the Magnum/LX Cars factory alignment issue. I am getting the Pull to the right and out side cupping on the tires. I am going to go to the dealer with tomorrow to present the problem to them and start my warranty claim. I have the two TSBs and some posts printed from here, anything else I should get?

My Mag was pulling slightly and the dealer adjusted it for me..guy in parts said he knew of some problems that were common with the 300's so they saw a few before mine..Got mag 8-04.. fine ever since...tires cupping sounds like you waited too long...

I had the same problem so I put my 05 SXT in for Factory Dodge Service. They incorporated two TSb's - camber bolt modification and re-aligned to the new specs. No more pull. Both were covered under warranty.

Alingment Issues?

None...

Build Date of 11/04/05, no issues from day one and still fine at 34,000 miles...


Cupping of the Tires?

Sure...

But it has nothing to do with the front end... It's that loose nut behind the Steering Wheel! Stop taking the Freeway On and Off Ramps at 80 MPH and that will cure the Cupping... I know the solution, but refuse to comply... So new tires I will buy... Original Contis lasted 26,000 miles for me, and I was in no way nice to them... Cupping was visible within 5,000 miles... The Magnum was sideways a lot in the first 5,000 miles...
