Front right tire worn and feathered 2500miles.
09' 3.2L FWD.
The dealer replaced both front tires at no cost and aligned the vehicle. Great folks to deal with and very helpful.
It now drives itself off the road, to the right on acceleration upwards of 40mph.
It didn't do this with the old tires. BUT.... it did when I first bought it new. The front L,R tires were rotated and all was fine.... until now - with new tires up front. Alignment was checked and rechecked.
I was told the front drive shafts are not of equal lengths, causing torque steer?

Other problems, not yet. Michelin is in the loop, as of Friday.
I crawled underneath, and the shafts looked close enough to being equal to me. Nothing like what I've seen pictures of showing the differences between unequal, equal and intermediate shafts.
Thank you.

Thank you. All the info I can gather will help either fix it or get me out of, what very well "might" be a lemon.
