| Description of the problem | Our 2006 subaru outback was taken on an extended trip in the summer of 2006 where the alignment went so far out of true that the tires almost blue (problem corrected enroute). A 2nd extended trip was taken a few weeks ago where the same problem occurred, even though the dealers service department ok'd the car. The amount of weight in the car was no more than personal belongings and some food but, due to the alignment (as verified by subaru mechanics), the tires came frighteningly close to blowing. |
