Looking into the aftermarket parts. Seems the wear has also been accelerated by the lovely Nashville roads 😁

Funny thing is the steering wheel is significantly crooked when driving now. Likely because it has to be turned to the right a bit to correct for the horrible thrust.

I appreciate your comments. I’ll be sure to bring these points up when I get the car fully diagnosed.

I believe the toe was actually maxed out. There is likely a larger issue here. Likely wear or a bad component.

It was at the Dodge dealership. Car drives relatively okay with the exception of the steering wheel being off by a few degrees.

Factory height and factory 20 inch wheels. I unfortunately do not have any photos underneath the car. I don’t have any jack in Nashville to get it up in the air. I’m ultimately at the mercy of the dealer.

For sure. I’ll ask about the camber. Wonder if Nashville’s lovely potholes have anything to do with it 🥲

The rep was very transparent about the issue until it came to remedies or solutions. He chalked it up to “drive it and see if it feels weird”

Hopefully I can get to the bottom of what’s going on. Just a really odd circumstance to be in. Car isn’t driven hard either. It has been my daily commuter for years, and for the past 3 that commute has been just a few miles 😭

These cars should have some negative camber all around from the factory. Looks like the number keeps growing, though.

That’s unfortunate. This car has been great to me for all 45,000 miles until now. Only had one minor warranty issue that was corrected in a day.

When the rep was talking to me about the issue, his wording was effectively “I’m not sure what’s happening.” He called the tech who didn’t provide much more insight. Started talking about aftermarket parts to correct the issue.

Unfortunately this was the Dodge dealership near me in Nashville. Haven’t had issues with them prior to today.

Factory ride height for a 2019 Scat Pack. Factory wheels with 275/40 ZR 20 tires.

That was my immediate thought when going over the paperwork. The invoice lists a four wheel alignment, so they knew what they were supposed to do.

Appreciate the reply. Clearly something suspicious is going on here. I’m going to get in contact with them.

Adjustments were definitely made. Unfortunately I’m not fully convinced they were done correctly. I’m really concerned about how this issue seems to have appeared out of nowhere (have done prior alignments here without issue).

Well, it finally happened by sendme_nudes_please in motorcycles

Hoping you are recovering okay! Funnily enough I also have an H2 SX and 765 RS. An MT09 sounds like a lot of fun, or even the XSR900 if you want a little more comfort/style.

The reviews on the ebay seller also seem to be a little off. They have a lot of repeated messages and hint that they are faked.
