Does anyone, including Chrysler know why the car pulls to the right?
This seems so strange. It is happening in new 2006 models too, I guess.
My cousin just rented a new 300 with few miles on it and it pulls to the right.
He was going to let the rental agency know about the alignment, so I told
him about this weird problem they are having with the car. I guess it is the
most common complaint here - or is it?
Other than this issue, would you say that most people are satisfied with the
300?

Dunno if this will help at all since I am new to this group, but I found a TSB #0200304,dated March 12, 2005 entitled: Right lead/revised alignment specs,2005-2006 Chrysler 300/Charger/Magnum. Its National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration number is 10013692
While I can find listings and real brief summaries of TSB's and recalls on Edmunds.com, AllData and the NHTSA Web sites, I cannot find any details of these TSB's and Recalls. Is there anywhere to locate more details on these TSB's and recalls -- free? (I am cheeeep)

I took my 2005 touring 300 to the dealer and told them about the tech bulletin to correct the right pull....I guess they tried but it still pulls...but not all the time. there are a few road surfaces that allow the car to drive straight as an arrow.--go figure. it almost feels like a steering sensitivity issue. need to take it back to the dealer but my wife just won't give it up for a day.

I think you meant to say steering cradle. Am quite sure that the engine mounts have nothing to do with the pull to the right problem.

greyfox1, could you elaborate on why you say "Am quite sure..." ? I'm just now starting my own odyssey with pull-to-the-right problems, and have read every post re: this problem. Some of the posts clearly say that one of the fixes is to mess with the engine cradle. Of course, there are all kinds of downsides to this. If you've gone down this path and it didn't help, that would be helpful to know.

If there is a front subframe, the engine AND front suspension may be attached to the same "piece." That would explain the confusion. But on the 300, I'm not sure the "engine cradle" is really what's being modified.
