Needs alignment after nothing much...!?

[belfonte]

Hi, I have 5500 miles on my 2 door Sport. I took it for the fourth time up to a local ORV park that has some steep inclines and rocky ground. I just putter along 4lo in 1st with the wife and kids for some fresh air. This time when I got back on pavement, I noticed the steering wasn't right. It's pulling to the right and heard some rumble from right front. Even that tire read a pound higher psi (friction heat).

I'm surprised. I pushed 20 degrees up and down a couple times. I'm running the stock highway tires at full psi, which makes for more jar, but there weren't any "oops" hits or anything.

Does the Sport have extra weak steering linkages?

As far as I know, the dealer should warranty an alignment. Are there any known vulnerabilities?

Thanks!

Did you examine it? Could be as simple as a foreign object lodged in the knuckle or caliper.

Thats a good idea. But I don't see anything.

No joke, something like that could easily be mud in the wheel.

Reminds me of My Cousin Vinny:
"Let me ask you a question, how do you get mud into the tires?"
