Consumer Description

A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS RECEIVED IN FEBRUARY OF 1999 THAT RONT END ALIGNMENT WAS CAUSING TIRE WEAR. AUTO SHOULD BE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. IF TIRES ARE WORN DUE TO ALIGNMENT, REPLACE TIRES. MY TIRES WERE WORN AND REPLACED AT 17800 MILES. THE REPLACEMENT TIRES NOW NEED REPLACING AFTER 18000 ADDITIONAL MILES. ALIGNMENT IS OUT FREQUENTLY, FRONT TIRES ARE WEARING, CAR IS REAR WHEEL DRIVE. I BELIEVE A FRONT END PROBLEM EXIST CREATING THE TIRE WEAR. *AK
