#47 of 220 300C Right Pull by mikec1 Jun 14, 2004 (4:23 pm)
My 300C was manufactured on May 5th and has the correct cam alignment bolts, but still pulls right. There are however new alignment specs. I will be taking it in to have it adjusted and post results. It was previously aligned under the pre-cam bolt change specs. Replies to this message: jeep (Jun 15, 2004 6:13 am) jayrider (Jun 15, 2004 11:16 am) weidnerlaw (Aug 03, 2004 9:23 am)

Replying to: mikec1 (Jun 14, 2004 4:23 pm) Funny, mine was built on May 4th and I don't have any pulling problems. I wonder why some cars do and some don't. Do you have any ideas? Replies to this message: jayrider (Jun 15, 2004 11:16 am)

Replying to: jeep (Jun 15, 2004 6:13 am) The variables in assembling a new car are numerous. Parts, workers, etc, are not 100% consistent. This is especially true for new models. The odds are still in your favor that most will experience few problems but when you're slapping together thousands of vehicles, stuff happens. Those who wanted the first issues of the 300 will serve those who waited a year or two by providing the trouble shooting necessary to minimize the headache potential in these cars.

#51 of 220 Steering and Right Pull by mikec1 Jun 15, 2004 (8:52 pm)
Regarding the right pull, I noticed it at about 10 miles on the odometer. I do chalk much of it up to crown sensativity. There are however new alignment specs posted with the TSB that could lessen the pull if your 300C has the correct cam bolts and the production date is close to the changes made after April 25th. I will know sometime next week if the new specs matter.   Regarding the comment about the shimmy on bumps, I noticed this too, and decided it occurs because the car is rear wheel drive, and most of us have not driven a rear wheel drive vehicle in a long time. The weight differential without the transmission over the front axle may have something to do with it as well. Weight balance is 50/50 over front and rear axles in the 300C providing superior traction when the ESP is engaged.   I assure you that with the ESP on, this car is as stable as any when cornering on virtually any road condition. It is nearly impossible to lose contact with the pavement in drastic maneuvers. I do not notice shimmy at all now that I am comfortable with the feel and think it is more how the 300C transmits the road to the steering wheel than any kind of problem. I have suggested elsewhere that the 300C needs an adjustable suspension for sport or cruising modes. I could see where this would concern you unless you had a chance to put the car through the paces.

Replying to: mikec1 (Jun 15, 2004 8:52 pm) You must work for Chrysler, I have a 1972 Olds 442 that steers better over bumps on the highway, not to mention it does not pull to the right. Something needs to be done about this front end and the tire wear etc

Replying to: buckie (Jul 14, 2004 9:45 am) TSB 0200304. It involves new camber bolts. From what I've heard it fixes the pulling problem experienced on some (or most) early built 300s.
