Year model and have you checked the tension bolt on the splined shaft, on the end of the axle. If that is loose the wheel will be out of line. Most frequently it is a bent spindle and if you are the original owner you know if you hit something. If you are second owner or had someone else tow it, then you dont know that a curb did not bend a spindle. Check everything and get with your dealership should you need more help. BCB

IF the idler splined yoke is taught then you probably have a spindle bent, and odds are it is usually the right side wheel that gets bent. Pot Holes, curbs and those dreaded drive thru windows usually get the left side. Especially bank drive thrus as they are not wide enough.

How do i know if its bent? Just use a straight edge on it and see? If i need it replaced is it expensive?
