Previously I had my alignment checked out by trueline in Santee @ about
300 miles. Checked out good.
Lately @ 2600 miles I was noticing a vibration at 65-70 mph, 72 plus it
wasn't there. I did notice that the outside passenger tire was starting
to wear funny kinda like a ramping effect. Kearny Mesa Dodge found the
alignment was off. Here are the results.

left front
act. bef. Spec
                         range
-.9* -.9* -.1 .9 camber
2.9 2.9 2.6 3.6 caster
.07 .02 * .03 .013 toe

 right front
act. bef. Spec
                         range
-.8* -.8* -.1 .9 camber
3.3 3.3 2.6 3.6 caster
.04 .42* .03 .013 toe

front
act. bef. Spec
                         range
-.1 -.1 -.5 .5 cross camber
-.4 -.4 -.5 .5 cross caster
.011 .44* .05 .25 total toe

The popping noise on a right hand turn up a driveway the dealer could
not duplicate it.
While I was hanging out a new yellow 4x4 cc came in. I don't know if
it's presold or the options on it.
