Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / November 20052005 300
I have a 2005 Chrysler 300. We purchased this vehicle in late April 2005. We noticed this vehicle pulls to the right, and took it to the dealer, it would not HOLD alignment, he had to order a CAMBER bolt. Plus the front tires are already CUPPED. This car has 4,100 miles on it. Also, the leather on the dash bubbled up, and had to have the COMPLETE dash replaced, the lower rocker panel on the drivers side, also was defective, it had to be replaced. Has anyone else who owns a 2005 --Chrysler 300 noticed their vehicle pulls to the right?? Chrysler is replacing the tires, which is already worn.

I know this problem has been corrected for the 2006 300's, the dealer stated that the 2.7 liter:3.5 liter and 3.7 liter, of the 2005 vehicles have this problem. >> I have a 2005 Chrysler 300. >> We purchased this vehicle in late April 2005.

The dealer should Adjust the alignment to the revised specs. They should also be aware of this TSB Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech The dealer did do alignment,,,BUT- it is sooooooooo bad that it will NOT hold the alignment...The dealer ordered a camber bolt, to FIX the problem. So, I take the vehicle back for the third TIME, for this problem. Just waiting for the NEW tires to come in. Chrysler should have notified ALL customers who purchased these vehicles, that there is a TSB ........or a RECALL. >> I have a 2005 Chrysler 300. >> We purchased this vehicle in late April 2005.

Its hard to get an accurate alignment with eccentric cam bolts typically fitted to McPherson struts because the assembly shifts when the bolt is cinched down. In service, the cam will tend to move from its setting due to the clearance between the face of the cam and the two raised metal ears it butts against to affect and retain adjustment. The mechanic can make this simple improvement: When new struts are installed, place the cambolt in position and upset the metal ears to take out all the clearance. With a zero clearance, a more accurate camber can be set and once set, it cannot drift. A better approach to a fixed alignment is a shim setup design, which is rigid and permanent. Unless the car is rammed into curbs, the alignment job will hold for years. There are 60's cars rolling today which have never had anything other than the original factory alignment! > Has anyone > else who owns a 2005 --Chrysler 300 noticed their vehicle pulls to the > right?? I read that in a few user reviews on Yahoo last year. |
