Default Tire Wear

I have some slight "feathering" on the outside edge of the right front tire @ only 2700 miles. Stock 18 In rims with the Stock tires and no mods. Dealer said they would check it out when I go in for the G40 recall next week. Felt good that they at least new about the G40 recall.

Anyone else have a bad factory alignment issue addressed by the dealer.

no alignment issues here...

don't forget that it doesn't matter how many miles a vehicle has for alignment issues, all kinds of stuff (pot holes, parallel parking, etc.) can easily knock it out.

however, with that kind of milage, i would have them check the camber, caster, and toes of each wheel (or a full alignment/suspension check). i wouldn't have a doubt in my mind a service dealer, if you talk to the right person, would refuse an evaluation...

a) there could be an irregular factory suspension issue or b) if they refuse to check, let them know that if there is a problem...

it would be cheaper for them to fix the Jeep now rather than let the problem simmer and boil! a lot of dealers will do what they can for preventative warrenty maintence!

anywho, good luck!

cheers!
