My tires were wearing very evenly and now I notice that the DS rear tire is wearing more on the outside edge. I now have a slight bias of the steering wheel to the left, car tracks straight but the steering wheel is slightly off center. Thanks Woody.
New tires next year, so I'll get the alignment done as well.
Thanks Woody.

I get to the tire shop bright and early this morning. The owner says I'm putting the oldtimer on your car. I'm thinking that's a good thing, where has he been?

My new wheel installed without a hitch, Swapped TPMS and the light never came on. Most likely because the ignition switch was not turned on during the procedure. Lastly, my steering wheel is centered as perfect as I can determine. Even a old fuss budget such as myself is pleased. Up to 85 on the belt way and smooth as a baby's butt. They made me happy, and that is not easy to do.

BTW, some guy says "What kind of car is that"? The owner tells him. He says "Oh, must be Chrysler's answer to the Corvette". I'm thinking, yup, that's one way of putting it I guess. LOL.
