My V6 EX Luxury 7 seater has pulled to the right from day one!
It is worse when the vehicle is loaded with people. The dealer did a 4 wheel alignment on it and found that the rear wheel camber angle was way out of spec.
This did improve the problem from occuring but sometimes it will still pull to the right on some road surfaces.
I had this problem with a 85 Dodge Caravan from new and it could not be completely eliminated as the dealer said this was an inherant problem as the right side drive shaft was shorter than the left hand one and this caused this problem.
The Rondo V6 right side drive shaft is much shorter than the left side one so this may be a clue!
Unequal weight distribution on one side will also cause this problem, and this is normally corrected by having the heaver side spring rating higher to compensate for this.
I will not give up with the dealer until this problem is corrected.
I will be looking forward to other members comments!
