THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 02-003-04, DATED
MAY 25, 2004, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. ALL REVISIONS
ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH **ASTERISKS** AND INCLUDES REVISED REAR WHEEL
DRIVE (RWD) SPECIFICATIONS, ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ALL WHEEL
DRIVE (AWD) AND AN ADDITIONAL MODEL YEAR.
SUBJECT:
Right Lead/Revised Alignment Specifications
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves adjusting the alignment to revised specifications.
MODELS:
2005 - **2006** (LX) 300/Charger/Magnum
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The vehicle operator states the vehicle leads to the right.
DIAGNOSIS:
Drive the car on a FLAT road. If the car tracks straight, the vehicle operator is experiencing
crown sensitivity. If the vehicle tracks to the right, perform the Repair Procedure. Crown
sensitivity can not be eliminated in all the cases.
NOTE: Before evaluating the vehicle, it is important to check the following:
1. Tire pressure - Adjust tire pressure (if necessary) in all four wheels to
the pressure stated on the door placard.
2. Tire size & type - Verify that all four tires are the same size and type.
NOTE: When evaluating the vehicle, always drive the same road in both directions to
get a feel for the effect of road crown & cross wind.
SPECIAL TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NPN Alignment Equipment
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Use the procedures outlined on TechCONNECT service info tab / 2-Suspension /
Wheel Alignment, to set the wheel alignment to the specifications below.
NUMBER: 02-002-05
GROUP: Suspension
DATE: March 12, 2005
NOTE: When aligning the front end to induce right caster bias (the vehicle will tend
to track toward the side with the least positive caster), target the cross caster
to be **-1.0 degrees and no more than -1.6 degrees for RWD and target the
cross caster to be 0.6 degrees and no more than -1.2 degrees for AWD**. That
means you will have more caster on the right than on the left. Cross camber
should be set at +0.2 - +0.3 degree. That means you will have more camber
on the left than on the right. Utilize the cradle shift method PRIOR to using
the caster/camber adjustment bolt kit, p/n 05134117AA **for RWD, p/n
05161518AA for AWD**. The adjustment bolts only provide about 0.2 - 0.3
degree change and should only be used as a last resort. When shifting the
cradle, the passenger side of the cradle will move forward in car and the
driver's side will move rearward in car.
NOTE: After the cradle has been shifted, torque all 4 cradle bolts to 175Nm (130 ft.
lbs.).
CAUTION: If an adjustment bolt is to be installed do not allow the bolt head to turn
during disassembly or assembly, the cradle tension link joint or the lower
control arm bushing inner metal sleeve will be destroyed and require
replacement. THE NUT MUST BE UNTORQUED AND REMOVED, BEFORE
THE BOLT. Once the nut is removed the bolt can be slid out.

many thanks for this info.

Any good alignment tech. With any experience should have been able to fix this issue properly the first time, I would evaluate who you are taking your car to for service...The company should have a frequently updated alignment program and some sort of dealer service program that would mention any and all TSB'S and recalls. at MINIMUM the alignment tech. Should have enough experience to be able to diagnose a pull and correct it through caster and/or thrust angle with good tires.
