Description of the problem | Took truck to coppus motors tiffin,ohio on 4/21/2015 due to front left of vehicle making excessive road noise and wanted to know if it was from the tire, or something wrong with front end. Dealership said they checked bearings and suspension and all checked ok. Was told by chrysler to have a certified dealership for goodyear check tires, at that time they advised me, the front end must be out of alignment. Took truck to independant front end alignment business, to have alignment checked after purchasing new tires. Toe and camber were both out and were adjusted. After 3 wks. Time, front end alignment was out again. Same business, realigned again. 2wks later took to coppus motors and it was out of alignment again, dealership aligned it. 3wks later took back to coppus motors as requested by dealership to check alignment and it was out again. My new truck tires are now showing excessive wear and are going to soon need replaced, and truck is still not fixed yet. At this time, coppus motors is unsure how to repair alignment so it will hold. Since this all started i have only accumulated 4,000 mi. To have another set of tires already showing wear and needing replacement soon. |
