 Subject: tiresIP: Logged Message: Hey- within the past four months that I've owned my Dakota (a 97) it has gone out of alignment twice. So the other day i was checking the front tire pressure to see if that had anything to with it, when i noticed that the right front tire (they are all Goodyear Wranglers) has a standard load rating, when all of the others are extra load. The truck has been pulling to the right both times its come out of alignment, and thats the side with the oddball tire. I was just wondering if that had anything to do with alignment, and if not, what would cause the truck to come out of alignment twice in such a short period of time. thanks |

I bought my 95 Dakota used (second owner) and the front tires edges were bald, and the rear tires center were bald. I would have the whole steering system checked though, might have a bent tie rod or something b/c unless you are smacking curbs or doing some serious banging off-road, should not have that problem. BTW, my truck tracks straighter than my wifes 99 minivan! KJR |

The alignment was out of whack after about 1000 miles. My local Dodge dealer replaced them at the first 1500 miles checkup and i've had no problems since. Bernd D.
