    just seeing if any one has noticed anything like this??? i have a 2012 dcsb 4x4 all suspension is factory and i noticed this problem around 3800 miles... never been off-road and honestly i dodge pot holes to try and keep the alignment and other suspension parts in good shape! truck does not pull at all but steering wheel looks turned to the left, this is going straight.. HELP!!

    With such low miles, I would think the dealer should do the alignment free of charge.

    .... Or at least have them check as to why it is out of whack so much.

    Last time I had that, I needed an alignment. High curbs just jump out at you.

    The actual wheel alignment may be fine, but they didn't do it correctly with centering the steering wheel.
