Front Caster is off,...Warranty????

[cwbyinjeep]

Hey gang, hoping to ping someone who has had direct experience with this issue. I bought an 03 CTD 3500 DRW 4x4 (see sig) and had the stock tires on it. Seemed to ride fine and was evident it had not seen any offroading or rough terrain. I now have 35,850 miles on it and put a set of Brentz 19.5 wheels with Goodyear 245/70 19.5's on it last night. Love the wheels and the tires and rides great. Except now with a real tire on the front instead of the crappy Goodyear GSA's I am getting a pull to the right. I take it to the best alignment tire/wheel shop here in Atlanta and discover the driver's side Caster is off by over 1/2 degree and that's the likely cause of my pull. Everything else was in spec(tighter spec then Chryslers by the way) and truck needed no alignment at 35+k. I call the best local Dodge dealership I know of and talk with their alignment guy and the likelyhood of it being a ball joint or warrantying an axle to straighten the front end out. He tries to convince me the lower control arms dictate the Caster setting and it's evident to me he doesn't know chit. The lower control arms only set Drift not caster,......So that's not an encouraging sign of impending drama to even try to pursue this with that dealership. What I am looking to hear is from someone who has maybe addressed a similar issue with perhaps simply replacing ball joints or has a better recommendation for a Dodge dealer in the Atlanta, GA area. I'm half tempted to just leave it well enough alone, but if I have a shot of getting it taken care of in the next 150 miles before warranty runs out I will try it.

Thanks In Advnance
