you too? mines doing the same... what scares me is the one guy on this site who had his right tire pop off or whatever and crash him into a parked car...

i hope this isnt a consistant issue

I just got home from a night AutoX in Baton Rouge (it ended at 3:00 am). On the way back to New Orleans (70 miles / about 1 hour), I noticed that it definitely still pulls to the right, and I just had the alignment done on May 7. I did rotate all my tires (F-R / L-R) before leaving BR. So I'm not sure if that affected it, but I don't think it should have. I have to go in to my dealership soon anyway to order a new radio (mine won't eject CD's most of the time), so I'm going to talk to them about the alignment issue.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm just going to let the warranty cover it.

you cant use ramps if you are taking the wheels off.
