When the vehicle was turned, the stabilizer bar rubbed the tire, which caused the tire to wear out prematurely. Dealer notified. *ak the consumer noticed a rub on both sides of the stabilizer bar which was most on the left side. Further investigation showed the stabilizer bar was shoved an inch out of it's bracket. There was a hard left pull when the vehicle was driven. The truck was lifted off the ground and the consumer pointed out the rub marks on the stabilizer bar and also showed how the bar had been shoved out of it's holding bracket. The service dealer suggested the problem was a design flaw by showing the consumer another vehicle (same make/model) with the same problem. *scc

Vehicle is one inch lower on driver side. Vehicle is equiped with fuel tank on driver side, and is primarily occupied by just the driver and as such, when fuel tank is full, there is approximatey 450 lbs. Extra on this side of the truck. Shortly after purchasing this vehicle, I and others began to notice the pronounced lean in the body of the truck. I am not sure, but this condition may be a saftey problem in the future and I would like to have it addressed. Vehicle spring rates should take into account the loading differences of driver and fuel. Thanks, jack s.r.copp. Nlm

Steering alignment constantly needs adjustment. Alignments prove futile. Steering wheel pulls to right during all driving conditions.
