Default srt4 slignment issues

I just purchased a new 04 srt4 a couple weeks ago and it has a wicked pull to the right. I've had it in for alignment under warrenty 3 times now, and there is no change. The dealer even installed a camber kit on the thing. Anyone else had these problems, or can shed any light on the issue?

Now when you say pull to the right are you talking while you're just driving down the street or it pulls to the right when you launch it at 5 grand?

Other than a front STB, I haven't messed with the suspension. My SRT-4 rides and handles like a dream the faster you go.....

I had a similar problem. Mine liked to drift to the right. I would have to keep the top center of the steering wheel at around 11:00 to keep the car from fading right.
I have since went to coilovers and different rims and haven't had the problem since.

Keep on top of the dealer, and keep documentation. Even if they just want to look at it quick, get something in writing stating what they did.

Good luck.

Turns out they found a problem in the motor mounts?!? They changed somethin and now it's driving straight. They problem was while cruising, so it wasn't torque steer......

Thanks for the replies!

If that is the case, then get a set of motor mount inserts to help keep everything nice and tight and less likely to come back again.
