Bad alignment

[noloc45]

I took delivery on my JLUR on March 14th.

I immediately noticed the steering while was 100% center. But it wasnt too off.

Its gotten a bit worse since then and I find myself pulling left to keep straight on the road. Is this something the dealership should take care off? I keep reading something about "wandering" but Im not sure if its the same issue or not.

Does the free MOPAR service include alignment?

If not, I just think Ill take it to Pepboys and get the lifetime alignment. I had it on my Lexus and they were great about it.

I have had many wranglers and very rarely do you see a perfectly centered steering wheel. Usually you have to hold the wheel a bit to the left to go straight, this is also because the roads tend to curve down to the right.

Take it in and see what they say. The drag link may need to be adjusted. If it seems to be getting worth that leads me to believe something is loose.

Alex,

Thank you. I made an appointment for Saturday morning.

How would I get your assistance to have this checked and resolved?

On some roads its worse because as you mentioned, they curve. But ive taken it to flat areas and let go and its bad.

Worse, if im on a curve/bend that drops inward. In that instance, since Im already pulling the steering left, I have to keep the steering CENTERED while taking a curve. On a curve like that I should be going from center to left (or right, depending on which side the curve is on obviously). But in my case Im pulling the steering from left to center.

In that case I'd take it in.
