Default CS alignment

Now have about 1500 miles on my CS and love it.

For the first 1000 miles the alignment as delivered seemed perfect. But at about that time I noticed a steering wheel tilt to the left and a slight pull of the car to the right. Seemed to come on relatively suddenly. Didn't hit anything or remember anything unusual on the road.

Anyone else with a similar experience?

Did you check tire pressure? The crown direction of some roads will do that - does it do it on all roads/lanes? When you feel it , you might like to try the slow lane of the same road portion. (We will not record the fact a Pepper was seen in the slow lane)... ;-)

Yes, did check tire pressure. Also does same on areas of road that seem flat, without noticeable crown.

There is a TSB for initial alignment posted by Muddman2. I don't the # now, I'll look for it.

If recollection serves: After 125 miles when the suspension settles in, the trucks should have alignment checked.

Bring it to dealer, it may be misalignment that would require PCNA to replace tires later...

Good luck...

Can a misalignment cause mild wheel shake felt through the steering wheel bewteen 65-75 mph??? My S has 17,000 miles and the shake is becoming more prevalent, even though I noticed this since the begining, but it occured in a much smaller range of mph...Thanks

Yes. Sometimes the tire wear laterally from the misalignment, giving additional chatter. The tie rod ends are also taking a beating.

Wingless gave you the number, you might like to take it to dealer.

Good luck..
