PULLING TO RIGHT: Bringing parts to dealer for replacement?
Like many 08's, I'm having the pulling to the right problem even after swapping tires, alignment, balancing and rear & front subframe adjustment. One of the dealers I go to knows about this problem and recommended installing the camber brackets, as discussed in that famous "pulling to the right" thread... part #'s: 48075-53020 & 48076-53020.
Have any of you brought parts to the dealer and have them put it in? Reason I ask is that I would like to get the camber brackets on my own instead of having the F sit in their shop while they order the parts themselves... I'd rather order it on my own and bring it in and have it installed immediately.
They are saying it will cost $250 installed, is this a reasonable price including parts? Thx.

They're caster bushings, not camber brackets. They won't change camber at all.
What tires are you running, and what tires have you tried?

My mistake, i meant that both part numbers are supposed to change the caster +20. Car pulled right, had stock tire size Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, had the front tires swapped, car still pulled right. then I got a flat in my rear tire and decided to get Continental DWS for all 4, stock tire size, car still pulled right. Had front tires swapped, car still pulled right. Got alignment done 3 times including subframe adjustment for both the rear and front, car still pulls. The caster bushings is my last resort, if this doesn't solve the problem I am out of options, at least to my knowledge.

Wow, I am having the same issue. But my dealer is telling me its my tires, but I have so much tread left on the tires I don't want to buy a new set and prove them wrong, that its not the tires. But at the same time I have a 08 and my warranty is coming up soon and I need to get this resolved before the warranty goes out. We need to have this be a service bulletin for us 08's.
