Replace front left wheel bearing. |
| 2000 mi | alignment off center since new. An alignment was attempted with in specs but, off center not resolved. |
| 2300 mi | attempt number two on alignment with still no success. The dealership tried to even modulate with different tire pressures on different wheels. No success. |
| 3100 mi | third attempt at alignment. Still no luck. Same old tricks attempted by dealership. Won't bother anymore just will pay for a tire shop of repute to do alignment when new tires are due. |
