Quite possibly they did set the tire to 32 PSI but never checked it for a leak. Of course if they found one low any idiot would check for a leak or puncture so they still dun ya wrong. Did YOU check the tire pressure?

This would lead me to believe that you were checking your pressures. So what you're saying is that you lied to us? You didn't check the pressure yourself but instead had the dealer do it and just believed what they told you?

For anyone who does a 'search' and finds this thread, the order in which to check items on your car to solve this problem:

1. Check both rear tire pressures- they should be equal. If not, make them equal and your problem should be solved.

2. Change/swap rear tires- if one tire has even a slight more wear than the other, this problem will happen. If you swapped your tires and that solved you problem SWAP THEM BACK, they are directional and shouldn't be driven on for any length of time going the wrong direction. Get new rear tires now.

3. Check you half shafts- make sure everything is still tight and aligned. If everything is aligned and tight, you may want to seek some advice from a professional.

4. Worse case- you diff is going out. See a professional.

So can the shocks going bad cause this problem as well?

Another thing to check would be to make sure that all tires are in the proper location. Saw one at the Dragon with 2 rears on one side and 2 fronts on the other.

That is a very good point Shedrivesit, I think I was there to witness that

Even though the pilot size on the rear rims won't fit the front hubs, the studs are long enough for some moron to make this stupid mistake.

I've also seen rear tires put on the front wheels and front tires put on the rear wheels. Yes, the car pulls.

He drove it all the way down there like that from Cleveland! Tires and wheels were installed by "professionals". Just remember, just because the job was done by professionals does not mean that it was professionally done.
