Pulls har right!!!!!
Bought my '05 used from Lasher Dodge here in Sacramento in Jun of '05 for a wedding gift for my wife, and have had it alighned three time, yet the say it is to msnf. speck... The dealership told me they all pull a bit to the right for safety issues... But when we test drove an '06 it was fine. Any body else had issues???? Please post so I can take my findings to the dealership... I am also thinking that it may have beenin some kind of accident, and not devolged when I bought it... All the paperwork from the dealership said the car checked out fine... What do you think????

RE: Pulls har right!!!!!
Have an 06 RT which pulls to the left! I've learned this is an issue and apparently due to the Dodge boys just not getting the caster/camber specs right. I am to take mine to a non-dealer specialist Friday and will report back. This guy will basically use the factory numbers (2nd TSB issued, by the way) as a beginning and adjust it so it drives right even if outside the spec. It's apparently a Mercedes design and is adjusted by shifting a 'cradle' forward/aft as needed. Frankly I don't believe the dealers have the courage to fool with it if it checks out as being within tolerance. But 'in tolerance' could be well outside of good tracking traits if it happens to be at adverse limits.
I'll repost with results of this next visit. I'm really hoping he nails it, as everthing else about this car I really like.

I BOUGHT '05 MAGNUM SXT FROM DEALER IN '06. WITHIN 3-4 MONTHS THE CAR WAS PULLING RIGHT. WENT TO DEALERSHIP ASKED FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT I WAS TOLD, HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU NEED ONE? UPON MY LAST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE 4/08 I WAS TOLD TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. SEEMS MOST MAGNUMS,CHARGERS AND 300'S ALL HAVING SAME TIE ROD TROUBLE. JUST HAD THEM REPLACED AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT. DRIVES AND HANDLES ALOT BETTER. BUT..... THE CAR AND STEERING WHEEL STILL SLIGHTLY PULLS RIGHT. ON EDMUNDS.COM THERE ARE MANY REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING WITH THESE MAGNUMS.
