Wheel wobble and steering off
So ever since I got my rig in January my steering wheel has been off to the right and over 65 mph it wobbles. It's not drivetrain dependent (so gassed or coasting it wobbles) and sometimes it doesn't on smooth inclines, odd.
I've had three alignments and two balancings. I took it to the same place (since I had a lifetime plan there) and made a big fuss on why it hasn't been improving even a little bit. The manager put his "best tech" on the job (which honestly everyone should be able to do the job). He said the rear wheel, left, was -1.17 off camber while the right was .87 degrees. He doesn't know how it was missed before since it's the same printout from the computer. He said that might be causing the wheel to be to the right since it essentially makes the back end seem turned right.
He recommended I see a body shop to see if they can do something to the axle or something.
Does this sound right?
My rig has a dent in the bumper and rear hatch on the right side (looks like PO maybe backed into a pole) and the rubber cushion inside the bumper is smashed almost to the trailer hitch. But to me this seem it would make the rear end tilted left not right.
Only other thing is my inner tie rod passenger side has some play, nothing major.
