#2 of 8 Alignment Issues? by ctdet Sep 29, 2004 (8:24 am)
Just purchased a 2005 Base Model 5 Speed Salsa Vibe a couple weeks ago. Since last week I noticed that to go straight I have to have the steering wheel turned slightly to the right. In other words if I am on a flat straight rode and let go of the wheel the car steers to the left.   Is this a problem others have experienced? What could be the issue? Anything I should do or check out with the car or should I just take it back to Pontiac Service? Is something like this covered under the warranty?   Thanks,   Mike Waukesha WI Replies to this message: infinia1 (Sep 29, 2004 11:19 am)

Replying to: ctdet (Sep 29, 2004 8:24 am) alignment is covered under warranty until 7500 miles. after that, it is considered a maintanence item. this is per the gm warranty booklet that comes with all gm owner's manuals.
#4 of 8 uneven rear tire wear by roy15 May 03, 2006 (7:07 am)
I just got off the phone with dealer he says the bushing shim kit needed to do 4 wheel alignment on my 04 vibe is nationally back ordered. All the tread on half of each rear tire is gone. I guess I'll call pontiac headquarters I should have known better than to buy a GM car Replies to this message: scrappyd (May 06, 2006 6:03 pm) roy15 (May 12, 2006 4:58 pm)

Replying to: roy15 (May 03, 2006 7:07 am) Though you already know this. Maybe this site and the Tech bullentin will help with the issue. I'm having mine checked just in case.

Replying to: scrappyd (May 06, 2006 6:03 pm) Re. to 701 Thank you scrappy d I had not checked on a bulletin for this problem. Knowledge is power. When we first got the car A/c became impaired they tried a quick fix(weld I think) when that didn't work I notified saleswoman I bought from & she got them to install a new compressor & provide a free rental car. She no longer works at the dealers. We have an ongoing problem the gas tank will not fill quickly there is a bulletin on this they tried to repair but no go. This one I chose to live with I must choose my battles. Roy15
#8 of 8 Rear hub assembly, and bushings for rear spindle by by bocopp Aug 23, 2009 (2:40 pm)
I need to replace the hub assebly. I have taken the thing apart, after much work, but now have a different problem. In the process of disassembly I broke the rear bolt that holds the rear spindle to the control arm. ( I have since found that I didn't even need to remove that bolt, but it's too late now). This bolt has two cam nuts for adjusting the wheel alignment, one on each end. I now need the bolt, and the bushing for that part of the spindle. I can't find it anywhere in any online catalogs, nor at the autoparts stores. Is this a dealer item? Am I using the corect terms? I would really like to get this car back on the road.
