Vehicle alignment was probably off ever since I got it, suspect it was strapped down too hard on transport, didn't notice until winter came and I started driving on ice, it was very erratic. They found that the front wheels were toed in and the rear wheels were toed out. Corrected on the alignment rack and drove good in inclement weather for the rest of winter.
