Front alignment

[EvilEyez]

Just wondering if anyone has had any problems keeping the alignment on their 03 cobras. I've had mine aligned 3 times in the last 3 1/2 months. Sometimes it feels like it wants to steer itself. My tires have about 4000 miles on them, so I don't know what it could be. I was thinking of installing MM caster/camber plates to hopefully relieve the problem. Have there been any recalls for this that anyone knows of. This is my 4th mustang and never had a problem until now.

Thank god this is one common problem my first run didn't have...

Does it pull to the right? There were a lot of 1st run '03's that had a bad pull to the right. I don't remember if there was a TSB or SSM on it though. I do remember reading about the problem very early on. Too bad the search function is down over on the SVTPerformance forums because that's where I read about a lot of them.

I saw some pictures way back when of an '03 where the DEALER re-drilled and re-installed the stock C/C plates in an effort to correct the pull. Looked horrible! They screwed it up bad to say the least.

U.M.

It doesn't pull, It drifts to the right.Before the last aglinment it was drifting left, go figure. I just might take it to the dealership to get it checked out. It's not bad, but it is bugging the hell out of me. Do you know if caster/camber plates might help?

Have they rotated your tires or considered changing your tires? I heard that if the car sat awhile on the lot that tires would become flat and then would pull to one side or the other. Do you know how long your car sat on the lot before you purchased it?

I have new tires on my car, they are not the ones from the factory.Like I said they only have about 4000 miles on them.
