Hi
I have a new 2008 ranger 4x4 which seems to have a built in mis-alignment right from the factory. Although it drives down the road Ok, the rear wheels (entire axle) are 1.5 inches closer to the outside edge of the right rear wheel well than on the left side. Mechanics at the local dealer measured and confirmed this but when checked with the alignment machine (Laser-liner) all the readings were within tolerance. The offset in wheel track is quite apparent to someone driving behind and obvious in tracks made in snow, mud etc. while driving straight ahead.
Has anyone else found this in a new ranger? or an older one for that matter?
cheers
