Default Steering 09 outlander ( out of whack )

WE just bought a 09 outlander. It has been in the shop more times than I can count on one hand. This is probably due to the Mitsubishi shop however.

On big problem I have is the steering pulling to the left and right especially on the highway.

I know the first time they did a front end alignment.
The second time the said the rear was "out of tow"

At times is drives perfectly fine.

Any of you having these issues?

It is our first time buying an import. And to tell you the truth I hope this is now how the outlander is suppose to drive.

The Outlander should drive and handle like any normal car/suv. If you had a 4 wheel alignment things should be cool. The alignment shop would tell you if you needed tires. If you had a CARFAX report it would tell if the car was in a accident. It seems to me that you Outlander might have been in some type of accident if it handles they way you explain.

Scroll down to look at the "toe" section.

Thanks for the 'toe' information.

I am quite a my wits end with the dealer. Maybe they will find something else this time around.

I know this is a bit late, but maybe you can find a tire dealership that runs a special. Firestone runs a special down here where you pay about $150 and you get lifetime alignments, as often as you want, as long as you own the vehicle. Since alignments are usually about $60 a pop...it doesn't take too many times for that to start paying off.

What you just did was called hijacking a thread. It is rude. All you have to do is pm the member you question or start a new thread about PUSH BARS.
